screwing in fan screwed me
screwed through tube in condenser lost all gass(dont tell the germans)
i can solder on a new condenser but can I recharge it it is a jinu117 unit with the 2 valvs that come with it

I'd like to know what i would need to recharg it or...how much it should cost to get this done?

here is pic of jinus connectors

you would need a A/C manifold, a vacuum, and refrigerant.

the manifold can be found new for like alot of money, or you can find em on ebay for like 20 bucks or less. the vacuum you can rent from autozone, and then the refrigerant im not sure what your using so i dont know where.(i guess a refrigeration store lol)

oh yeah, you also would need a tank of nitrogen(you can rent these from refrigeration stores, but they might make you buy the regulator) with a proper regulator so you can fill the system between vauums(3-4 times you need to do vacuum and fill with nitrogen i believe, before the final vacuum in which you then fill with refrigerant.)

when connecting to your manifold, remember that the valve coming off of the filter (before the evap) is the high side, and the other is the low side. and i guess jinu can tell you what psi's to charge to, or you can tune yourself, i believe low side should start at 0 as a base.

and by solder i hope you mean braze
