If I had read the above warnings a year ago I would not have attempted my own AC recharge.

But I naively bought the kit from AutoZone, the one that included pressure gauges and a can of refrigerant. Following directions, I recharged the AC on my old Dodge. It worked perfectly and I saved a bundle. My advice? Sure, give it a go.
