Thanx for the replies fellas.
Yea, I have a guy that does my AC refills for me. He also has this really cool tool that allows the removal and replacement of the schrader valves without releasing any refrigerant. Really cool piece. Might not be able to use it in this instance though but nevertheless, he will be doing the recharge not me and he has a lot of experience.

Cheers
