Install Dodge Caravan A/C Condensor myself ?
OK, dealer wants a grand to replace and commission A/C condenser - apparently hit by rock. Seems steep to me - if I replace, can a 'recharge' station commission it ? Anything else I should be worrying about - I'm assuming with a hole in it, all the Freon is already gone (apologies to the atmosphere and all)!

Yes you can replace it your self. Since the R134a freon is gone, then you don't have to worry about that part of it. You will have to remove the upper radiator support. It runs across the top with the hood latch attached to it. There are about 6 bolts holding it on. You will have to remove some trim pieces. Go thru the front of the grill, very tricky but can be done. Remove the four 10mm bolts, two on each side that hold the condersor to the radiator. Unbolt the lines from the condensor, then you can pull up and out to replace. Hope this helps.
