How to Replace an A/C Valve WITHOUT Recovering Refrigerant

Today I replaced the low side schrader valve on my '06 Ford F150. I used a valve core remover tool that allows for removal of the valve without major loss of refrigerant. This also means that you do not have to recover or vacuum the system, saving time and labor. This same process applies to many different makes and models.

Forgot to release the air from valve removal tool first. If not jus instraduced air

[@operationsword9457]

Got a cheap one of these. it didn't grab the shrader when unscrewed. I put a tiny dab of butyle tape on the end to pull it out and replace. Be sure to remove the butyle remnant before capping.

I actually tried using this tool on my Accord about a year ago. And it was just a little bit too small to fit on the port. It DID fit on the high side port of my other car. But NOT the Accord. It’s like it was maybe 10 mils too small (or something minuscule like that). Not sure if maybe it was made out of tolerance as far as the ID. But I ended up having to send it back.

Very nice tool. It works as a bypass. Holds the air with one valve while you remove the other
