I don't think its a DIY level job because you'll need to know the procedure to de-gas and store the refrigerant. Plus replacing the Expansion Valve, re-gassing to the correct high and low side pressures..using gas gauges. Replacing seals and adding special oil on on the way.
The amount of refrigerant to be installed is subject to weight measurement.
It is against the law to dump aircon refrigerant into the air.
Getting this wrong could damage the compressor.
