This is the second time my A/C condenser was damaged from road debris and I have no A/C. Has anyone attempted to replace this on their own? I have done a lot of work on cars but not this yet. I just have to see what all I have to do to get to it.

I know it has to be recharged. If I replace it, then I can save some money and have a place just recharge it after as long as it isn't leaking anywhere else.

Sorry to sound cheap but I'm tight on money and very hot!!

1. Just swap the new AC condenser in, watching the proper torques, O-rings, washer etc.
Use this website to look up PN:

- You will be surprised that if you come to Honda dealer and ask to speak to a tech, you should get some advices from the pro in terms of what to do.

2. Then ask a shop to apply vacuum for 30 minutes. Then charge with R134a. Total should not be more than $100 for this service.

3. Last but not least, install a Gutter Guard. Without protection, you will have another condenser problem!

Here is the thread on Gutter Guard:
