I have a 96 f250 diesel and need to replace the ac condenser.......anyone ever done it themselves.........how hard is it..........some pointers maybe.........what about the connections?

 

is it empty?
if not by the time you hassle with it, an AC shop can do the job and the few cents you might save won't be much.
If it is you will need springlock fitting tools. and servicing tools like a vacuum pump and gauges, and a charging cylinder to put the correct amount of R134a back in.
