Originally posted by Cayoncrusier93 View PostI believe those are already there. My car was converted to 134 back in 2004 (it has a conversion sticker). I've charged the system with regular store bought 134 canisters before so i think those fittings are the right ones. So it's a straight compressor swap for me? I read about draining and flushing the lines to remove metal from the lines as well.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I need to figure out how long the spacers are in the steering knuckle somehow, because I'm going to make my own bushings/spacers. So, if anyone has any idea, it will help out a lot.

Edit: I'll mention I swapped the rubber steering disc with a urethane one many months before, so in that regard it was much easier to just undo the bolts, rather than spending extra time cutting the rivets out.
