Just an update:

Removed the old AC line today and installed the new one. What a B*** to take out and install LOL. The easiest way is to remove the passenger headlamp, take off the front bumper cover, and also there is a meaningless metal support strap on the LOW pressure line that you have to remove before you can get it back on without bending the crap out of the line.

I took my time and it was roughly 1h:30 minutes, FAR from the 3h:30 the dealership quoted me (they said it would take me 5 hours since I wasn't pro).

Can't wait to see the look on their faces tomorrow when I get it recharged.

PS: I hope nothing leaks tomorrow otherwise I will be right embarrassed lol.

PPS: I didn't replace the receiver/dryer on my car since for some reason it is different than what the repair manual states. It says that the top and bottom have a 10mm hex removal point but mine was an entirely self contained unit with no way of removing it unless I replaced the entire condenser. I had someone else look at it and they said most likely it would be fine. So now I have an extra receiver/drier desiccant bag with no use.
