[QUOTE="Martin6107, post: 15324007, member: 157524"] The hardest part of the job is recovering the old refrigerant. You definitely do NOT want to let it just leak out. Many local shops will evacuate your system for a small fee. With that done, you can safely remove the lines and replace the compressor. While you are at it, you may as well replace the o-rings on all the lines since these dry out over time and are only a few bucks to replace. You may have to replace a few other parts in order to get the compressor warranty. Check with the manufacturer. Personally, I like to replace the filter and flush the condenser just to make sure any errant chunks are out of the system for good. Once the work is done, borrow a vacuum pump and manifold gauge set from your local parts store. Draw the air out of the system. If the system holds vacuum over night then you are leak free. Refill with oil and refrigerant and you are set to go. [/QUOTE]
