Busted o-ring, 0 freon... How to fill up, and fill with what?
So, I was installing a front strut tower bar from Purems... And just my luck, as soon as I touched the A/C line in front of the cabin air filter, the o-ring pops and freon starts leaking everywhere. I loosened the torx screw and just let it all out. :P
So, obviously, I need a new o-ring and to fill up w/freon... But, what's the spec for the freon? And I heard you could just get it at Wal-Mart or something?
TIA!

You first need to vacuum pump the system and make sure it holds
Them you'll need to fill it with R-134 with oil (I would avoid the ones with no oil myself). Do do this you'll have to bypass the low pressure switch.
I'd highly suggest you get a good manual or pay someone to do this.
