    you need a vacuum pump, and technically a way to scavenge the refrigerant. Make sure and flush everything good, replace the accumulator and orifice tube (no warranty without those anyway) it's pretty easy, get a pack of o rings just in case (only a couple of bucks and insurance for potential issues)

    My dad and I actually did this to my car twice about a month ago. The first pump we got was bad so we had to pull it out again. It took about five hours but that included driving out to the shop to recharge the system. It will probably take longer for someone doing it on their own for the first time. My dad is certified at AC repair so it wasn't his first time doing it.
