How did you vacuum the system and recharge it?

A friend of mine works at the local airport. They have a vacuum/Freon thing there that we were allowed to use

New power steering pump. Old one was making weird noises and leaking fluid

Oops

Wow I forgot about this. Suppose I'll update it. So uh college is done with and life is good (for both the Jeep and myself). Jeep hasn't changed much, but I have 4.56 gears waiting to go into it and a 8.25 with disc conversion. Just need to find the time to do it. Moving back to my hometown in a month or so then should be able to work on it more. Anyways here's some photos

Oops it's a year later and the gears still aren't in 😐

Lake00XJ

started the disc brake conversion but need new brake line and backing plate studs/grade 8 bolts to continue so this is on hold until Amazon brings me brake line and I go to Home Depot tomorrow

Update on the disc brake conversion:

- New hardware for the backing plates
- New brake lines on the axle going to the soft lines
- New wheel studs installed (97 zj)
-Mostly put back together now

Still need to do:

- Reinstall diff cover
-Refill diff fluid
- Confirm parking brake works
- Test drive to see if parking brake shoes need adjusted

Then all I need is an alignment, balancing tires and new leaf springs and leaf spring shims since mine are bent and broken. Then I can finally move into gears!

Well after idk how many years... it now has the 4.56s and rear locker installed. Went 70 down the highway without issue (aside from it being a jeep)
