      You only need a lisence to buy it not carry it, at least im pretty sure. Anywho your not going to be holding onto it, just putting it into your car. You are right about it leaking though so chances are the convert would be the longest lasting idea

      Im just glad my r12 system hasent had any problems ever in its life.

              Great DIY! Though, rather than using PAG oil on the o-rings, I would definitely recommend using Nylog. It won't attract dirt/moisture like PAG does, and it will help seal and prevent corrosion at the fitting.

                very very thorough DIY. i love it and you did an awesome job.

                i do have 1 recommendation tho. while you have the blower motor apart and everything, replace the expansion valve. if you have never personally replaced it before then it has most likely never been changed in the cb7's lifetime. i know for my 90 prelude it was a 70$ part at honda.

                          update: i began to inspect my cb in preparation for this DIY and actually found the issue as to where my freon was leaking.

                          i fixed my system which still blows cold 3 months down the line for 5$ part and a can of freon ( i already had one in the garage ) so i spent 30$ and little less than 30 minutes including the drive to and from fixing my system by just careful inspection.

                          not to take anything away from this awesome DIY but just goes to show that you can find the cause of your problems and solve it without great expense or time invested.

                            No worries the whole point of this DIY was to help people stay cool. Im glad you found your leak and fixed it. So did yoiu stick with the R12, or did you change it over to R134a ?

                            Peace,

                              So is the R134a just cheaper to use, or is it actually "better" somehow?

                                R134a is more efficient, and also more environmentally friendly
