A 3/8" drive extension worked pretty good as a nail set worked for reaching in to the tight spots and pounding them through.
Best of luck !
It may take awhile to get through a hundred or more but you might make a little coin with it at the end of it all. Individually ... each ac might not be worth doing because it's lower value stuff.
If you've got a bazillion of em' ... the little bits add up. It's just a lotta work.
Took in 160lbs of clean rads roughly 19 window ac units all different sizes so I can get a pinpoint figure ahead of time. Got 330$ with some tubes ,plugs and wires. What would be the recovery rate of the flat kind of plug that a window ac has?. My yard guy said it has to be 50% to be num 2 wire. Would it matter on recovery if the gauge is 16 or 14?. I have ten more out of 30 to do yet. I'm saving the motors and compressors for later and the loops on the cut off ends.
