#1: How do you remove aircon rad? Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:14 am ---- Mines bit like a banana and middle don't look health
Ideally I want to remove for time being and reinstall at later time, how do I go about it? I'm bit unsure about aircon with all it's gasses etc
Thanks ben,

(Although if there is no gas in it and you are sure, then just go for it. )

Cut the pipes (after safely removing the gas) but then again I didn't need to reuse it

after that just chop everything out and hope you dont want to reuse it! lol

you can let it out on purpose. R134A is used in aerosols and even airsoft guns!
its being replaced by HFO 1234 in newer cars anyway

One thing, if it don't work does that mean it's out if gas?
