Got an 89 240 running on freon R12. I need to add a can. Other than the compressor itself, is there another easier location to add into the system?

Thanks

    Met the same problem - no good way to do it.

    First time I removed the AMM to get at the port on the compressor.

    Latest time I put the car up on oil-changing ramps and reached in from the bottom. On my hands, a medium glove is a bit tight, a Large size a bit loose.

    Smaller hands would be a help, or having a trained chipmunk handy.

    My gauge set has a little angle in the low-side connection, which helps.

    Good Luck,

    Bob

    PS Got extra R12??

      "On my hands, a medium glove is a bit tight, a Large size a bit loose."

      Ahhh see... your the guy I was wishing for last time...On my hand a large glove is very tight...sz 14 ring...on top of that I'm a massage therapist by trade so I'm very paranoid about injuring my hands...

      I have to pretty much go the "If it's in the way take it off route"...On the Volvo's, and at work actually...
