Help !! AC Retro fit kit not working !!

[Drent91]

I just bought a universal retrofit kit from Auto Zone & doesn't fit ..Does Honda have a special size fitting for this ?? My other question is about the Compressor ..... do they sell a compressor seal kit for the Denso Compressors ?The Compressor is leaking from the seal right behind theEM- Clutch... Im trying to save a little $$$ & not have to buy a new compressor but will if i have to..

You will probably need a new compressor. Usually those kits come with the adapters to make the hose fit. Im guessing you mean the hose in the kit wont fit on the connector

yeah the adapter kit that comes with like 4 fittings ... this is for the high-side .. low-side's
fine ..Does Honda have a special size kit ?? .. im thinking i'll probably have to buy a new compressor too.. So does

Are you talking about the fitting to more refrigerant in? I got one the JY for like a buck. Everything went good until the my AC pressure switch went. Any body know if I gotta decompress the AC before I switch that out?

Yes you must evacuate the system. It will leak out through the sensor port.

Just peachy. So at the shop they want like $185 to do that. I'm call autozone to find if they have DIY kit for that or something.

So I made to call to Pep Boys who said they won't just evac the system.
AutoZone informed me that there is a possible $3,000.00 fine for letting this leak out. But they have the tool for the evac with out the tanks for storage. They also said that I could contact a local hvac company for tanks.

Another issue: History; to recharge my a/c I went the junk yard and picked up an adapter screwed it on, put hose on the tank, then connected it to the adapter and refilled. A fancy evac has never been done.

I may rambling here but I need a/c. I like the heat but I also like to escape and be comfortable. All I want the HCK to do is have an edge on the average highway idiot w/major safety, look good (I mean really good), and get to and from work in comfort.
