Air con condenser

[Deleted User] · 2016-08-17 21:32:11

I dont think i'll have a problem changing one out.(07 astra) But I am a little concerned about special tools to undo/do up the hoses? any body done air con work before? would be getting it gassed up by a pro. thanks

theres no special tools required the pipes are bolted on with 10mm bolts ,completly remove the bolts and gently ease off the pipe ,caring not to damage the rubber "o" rings ive done loads of them never had a problem

Are you sure it's the condensor that's gone and not a relay or ac clutch instead?
