What are you going to do about the compressor? Oil for R 12 is not compatible with oil for R 134A. O rings and seals for R 12 are not compatible for R 134a. You can’t flush a compressor. You need to replace all O rings and seals as well as Schrader valves with those that work with R 134A.
Look in the “How To” forum for the O ring color changes info. Do your research well before hand.
If that compressor has had a stop leak or similar junk added to it get a new one. You should be able to flush the lines but the Accumulator, Oriface tube, Receiver/Drier and compressor should be replaced. If you replace the compressor DO NOT get an R 12 compressor, make sure you get the R 134A compressor. There is a difference R 12 seals in it will not work with R 134A. You will have to put the proper amount of oil for an R 134A system in and the R 134A weight of charge may not be the same as the R 12 weight of charge. This is very important to convert with the right amounts.[quote=”theoldwizard1″ post=61798][quote=”DavidBWood3″ post=61786]The flip side is that I think it is crazy that tire stores want you to come back and have them check to torque on the lug nuts a week later. The place I go to triple checks the torque (torque stick, torque wrench, supervisor with a torque wrench).[/quote]
I think that’s only if you have alloy wheels. Steel wheels I don’t think so.

Take it out and measure the depth inside where the bolt goes in and see if there is enough depth for the bolt to go in all the way. It may be too long and tightening it will cause more problems. If it is find a shorter bolt.

Take it apart and put a dab of grease on the swivel joint. Then re install. Should only involve a few screws I would imagine.

Don’t think these will help with a hardline splice though http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Air-Conditioning-Accessories-and-Parts/Line-Splice/_/N-26fd
