Hi guys, Here is my first post and it is a question for the experts. I'm pretty good on cars and have a pdf of the service manual but never did compressor before. I recently replaced brakes, rotors, parking brake and I rebuilt my starter (big job WOW) so replacing these parts are no big deal, after all it does have 130K on it. Front wheel bearings are next (a little loose). So here's my question: My A/C compressor seized so I bought a Denso reman along with a dryer and expansion valve. I know I need to flush the system. Should I install all components first then go to a dealer for a/c flush, vac and recharge OR should I attempt myself and buy an a/c flush kit, R134a vac and a/c guages? Do I need to flush each section as I replace parts? The manual is not that specific. The manual also calls for ND-Oil 8 compressor oil but can't find it anywhere (including dealer), where can I get it or what is it equivalent to? Dealer says they use PAG150 made by WURST. Any advice would be appreciated especially if it's right

Thanks for your response aliga. I can do the vac and fill part but have never flushed a system before. Should I flush the system in a certain order because I read that the system cannot be flushed as a whole especially with the compressor and expansion valve installed. Anywhere I can get step by step instructions? Anyone ever do this before?
