Ye...I tried that before... but I don't think the refridgerent (speeling) was going in becasue the Compresser wasn't turning... what do I do? I"m so busy finishing up the steering and suspension I don't think I have time to research and fool around with it... how do you check for a leak?

Mine was seized last year as well. I bought a rebuilt one from autozone (like $240), took me a long time to decide on where and which one to buy. I didn't wanna have to do it again. But I changed it in about 3 hours, it really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I did almost everything from below. Hardest thing is getting the single bolt holding the two lines in the back of the compressor. After that, go somewhere to fill it up and it was ice cold all summer. It better work this summer.....

The good news: the compressor won't spin if there is no refrigerant! When you put in some R134, the system will operate (assuming you don't have a bad leak that lets it all back out).
