My R4 compressor needs a shaft seal kit. After slinging oil for 20 years, it has finally reached the point where it won't hold a charge for more than a few months. I want to remove it and ship to a reliable rebuilder. I need contact information. Also need a source for R12 Freon* to recharge the system.

Can I do it myself? The Service manual specifies about 1000 special tools required. How many of these are really necessary? This really HURTS, because I always do everything myself. I really don't want to invest in so many special tools. I will, however buy 2 or 3 tools, and do the job myself. This repair CAN be done without removal.
