I'm not sure it was covered but the first step is to remove the canister entirely. It makes the task more manageable and in the end less overall effort than working in the blind with the unit still in the car.

What type of A/C Refrigerant is used in my 87 Alfa Spider. R134A or R12. Not that I need it this time of year. But what would it have left the factory with?
I would love to see pictures of everyone's S4 spiders.
I am sure everyone else would love to as well!
I will be picking up my 92 with 11k miles next weekend and will post after a full detail assuming we have good weather here in NYC
