New AC evaporator install
 

How difficult is this to replace. The OE one leaks.
I have moderate wrench skills.
The stealer wants over $1000.00.....I usually just roll down the windows but
sometimes the AC would be nice, especially when I'm all suited up driving
downtown on a sweltering summers afternoon going to a job interview and not
look like a sweat hog in heat. '97 TJ Sahara

Are you EPA certified and do you have a clue? If not enough said pay the
price and you will be better off.

Get another estimate. You do not really have to be EPA certified to do this
job, but you should have a clue. ;^)

You can buy R134a and hoses to charge your system at any auto parts store,
but you really, really need a vacuum pump and a scale to do the job right.
R134a systems want to have the correct quantity of refrigerant, in order to
work properly. Charging station? Theoretically required, unless the system
had already leaked down before you initiated repairs. (Wink, wink, nudge,
nudge.)

Good place to start, www.acsource.com. For one job, it is not worth the
cost of the tools and supplies. I had two jobs to do.
