Unhappy AC O-ring leak

Hi, I'm new around here a just bought my first Ford, a 91 E-150 Straight 6. Here's my question, how difficult is it and what tools and parts do I need to replace the o-ring on the high side line near the gauge fitting. I've been doing AC for 19 years but luckily not on autos until now. I have some R-12 stashed away but I don't know if I have enough. Would anyone know the the total charge for the system also. I have all the vacuum and charging tools, I just don't know how to replace the o-ring.
Thank you for any help, John

most part stores has a cheap set of tools to remove the lines on the ford a/c you need the tool to expand the spring that holds the line together.
