can't... just make a slow leak, and open the garage door

unbolt the compressor(4 long bolts) and let it hang in there.

^^^ heard from many people that works

of course i find this out AFTER i vented my a/c and lost the majority of my a/c oil.

there is very little ac oil to begin with, perhaps you meant freon?

laying it over to the side is defenitly the easiest way, other than that it has to be vented.

dont let it hang...

get a rope and tie it off, its not hard, and will prevent you from messing up a line

projectRDM · 11-03-2005, 06:20 PM

Coat hanger works fine too.

sorry, 8.5 fluid ounces of oil, about 1.5lbs of freon. It's not really bad for you unless you burn it. It is heavier than air and will sink to the floor, and it displaces oxygen. So you can suffocate. If you burn it you get some really nasty gas that I can't remember. That stuff will fuck you up. But it burns green, which is kinda cool.
