Leaking AC line

I think the top AC line that runs from the back of the compressor is leaking on my '01. It looks straightforward to replace, but I don't have any way to evacuate or recover the R134a refrigerant. Is this something that an AC place has to fix, or is there a way to do this on my own?

DIY all the way. Replace the lines as needed. When you are ready to vac it down, just use one of these, cheap enough at $20

Forget recovering, if its leaking its probably gone by now.
