What equipment would you recommend to service the odyssey's AC, specifically to replace valve cores, recover refrigerant, evacuate the system and refill? I am considering performing this repair myself, as well as maintaining the AC in other systems that use R410A and R1234yf refrigerants.
The categories of equipment that I think will be required is in the table below and I expect a total cost of about $1000. Which equipment have you used and can recommend for one-off maintenance?
EDITED This post requests recommendations on equipment for AC maintenance from people who use that equipment. Cost-benefit analyses are unnecessary.
