Auto car A/C air conditioning changing replacing the Schrader valve with charged and empty system

To replace a leaky Schrader valve you need a special set of tools to remove them these keep the system untouched and closed while removing the valves.


First i would give the valve a little blip just to see if it needs to seat properly this will cure 90% of leaky valves if this does not work proceed to connect tool to the correct connection port on this occasion its a low side port Schrader valve.

Before starting check to see you have the correct size tool

First pull out the Schrader valve tool and close off the valve

I slowly undo the the valve and pull the tool insert to the top and close the valve you can now swap the valves over and do the reverse
