I think you have to have it done by a mechanic with the proper equipment. Freon is one of those things that is regulated by the gov't because of CFCs. Just have your mechanic do it.

Pay for someone to do it. That shits pretty toxic and you dont want to risk breathing it in

You can do it yourself if you really want. There might not even be a ton of freon left in your system. It's supposedly illegal to dump it into the atmosphere, but I seriously cant see a cop coming up and doing anything about something like that.
