good luck
Thanks, I'm hoping that once I figure out what piece serves what function and where they all are then it will be relatively easy to do the job. Right now I think my biggest problems are that I don't understand the system, and getting someone to do the vacuum and charge even though they didn't do the parts replacement. That may be an issue.. We'll see. Thanks for the encouragement, I can use it!
