    Air con removal

    So the latest breaker I have is fitted with air con
    Car is immobile so I can't take it anywhere to hav gas removed(if any in after all these years)
    Am I likely to poison myself or anything by just unbolting the lot?
    Don't want the mrs finding me collapsed in a heap on the floor or anything!

    What I did when I had to take the compressor off, was slowly opening one of the pipes, when I heard the gas coming out, I just left it for a bit to come out. And then it's all safe.

            That's true.

            There are probably vans that can do it on the spot isn't there? If you want to do it properly
