The bearing in my compressor has been squealing in cold weather for years. It has finally gotten bad along with the A/C clutch giving up. I can get a reman'ed compressor for $200 locally. In reading some part descriptions for new compressors it says the accumulator and expansion valve should also be replaced. True?
I don't want to charge the system myself (tried it once - I'll leave it to the pros). Can I hook up the lines and get to an A/C place without damaging the compressor? Of course the A/C won't be on but I don't want to chance ruining a new part.
Thanks.
