A/C issues please,help. overcharged system....
 
Hi Guys,
Long story short. One of my 8s (I know it's my fault), A/c is not working.
Details
I had that compressor replaced twice by someone who I should've not trusted.
Replaced a third time.
Had a leak in the system so just kept adding freon. It only took one time to overcharge it and apparently I blew the lines that are connected to the compressor. I felt the pressure escape as I was driving and I stopped to let some freon out. Went back to driving and next thing I hear the pressure of the system ( sounded like a pressure cooker being depressurized. I notice the air was warm so I turned off the ac. At home, I tried to add freon and I could swear I could hear it escape thru the lines by the compressor. I tried searching on how to remove all the ac lines, change the o rings, prob:(:sad:ably getting used ac lines from ebay ( the ones that are connected to the compressor and then recharging it.
Don't know exactly what is going on but I can't find information on how to remove the entire system . Do I have to remove the bumper? To change and inspect the condenser? Etc.
I really need your help.
Do not want to go to the stealership.
Thanks

Here is the service manual for the HVAC assembly.
This will instruct you on how to remove the system.
Good luck!
