Holt asked:


I am converting over to R134. I have a 92 Accord. Its old and I just want a/c to last for a couple more moths until the summer is over. How do I drain the R12 without any advanced tools so I can add the R134.

      You don’t, it is ILLEGAL and IMMORAL. Take it to a certified AC technician for recycling.
