Hey Clay, And everyone watching that needs to know to fix this same leak... On these older Chevys, The "Schroeder" Valve on the High side just has a Black Plastic spring loaded Ball to hold the pressure, and it's very common for them to leak. The round top parts unscrews to replace the valve, not the part that you were unsuccessfully trying to turn. You have to hold that HEX head stable and unscrew just the round top portion of the access port with the black ball inside and replace it with the new one. Just to let everyone know, K Great jokes, Thanks

Great video. My AC wasn't blowing cold. Lines were cold, fuses were good, compressor was turning on and new blend door was installed... After numerous debugging attempts... The fix was to disconnect the battery for 10 min to reset it. Bam... Cold AC blowing now.

I love the random facts in your video. Very entertaining!

[thomasjones]

Thanks...also, NOT a corny reference .80s were great my friend!

[stevehowell]

They also make a brass threaded plug that screws into the valve to stop it from leaking if you have trouble replacing the Schrader valve itself. It replaces the stock plastic black cap.

Those facts are distracting. But super neat. Subbed

[kenweerts]

You can take the Schrader valve off with a pliers and replace it for under $10.00.

I wish you would have done this with a 99 silverado. it has a different setup than that 97. I still need to figure out why mine blows cool and the compressor clutch cycles on enough from time to time. thanks for the video

[tristanhines]

The high side valve does screw out. You were trying to separate them in the wring spot. I just changed mine.

[gerardot]

I like your style man ! Keep up the good work!!

I haven’t had ac in my truck since I bought it from someone else. I thought the compressor didn’t work but that wasn’t the case. It did leak from there so I may try to replace all that. Let’s see if it works

[MoeLarrycurly]

I could be wrong but I think the Schrader valve can be unscrewed and just replaced the inside mechanism with the spring and the post. Like in a car tire. Now maybe today or in this vehicle you cannot do that
I have a 2000 Chevy truck so this is why I was interested in this video as I am interested in all of your mechanical videos very informative . And I think it has to be a special kind of Schrader valve or at least the rubber is somehow a different composite than the type you would screw in your tire.🖖🏽
Once in a while mine or what I perceive is the compressor sounds like it’s just blowing off air like a truck like a big truck now mine has the compressor down below it’s the 4.8 L which I think was a dumb idea it’s down there closer to the water snow etc. it has a separate belt Which when I ordered a spare belt I was surprised it was such a small belt I thought it was all one big serpentine belt so I have a small spare belt for the air compressor now which I carry behind the seat the regular belt looks pretty good the big win I have added one can of Freon about two years ago and still doing quite well I’ve had the truck for about four years

[craigwhitlock]

You don't have to replace the whole line. The top half of the high side line valve can be replace. The top half will come off with special socket or I take a niddel knose vice grip and loosen the top half of the valve . Make shure you grab it as close to where the valve looks like where it comes apart. You get a new valve at a parts house pretty cheap.

I had my home guy do my ac refill with vac and guages. Worked great till next morning all freon was lost.
Now mechs are useing shop air to fill lines and watch the guages. Ya.
im useing the sealer this time with a dye.
I heard good about Red angel sealer.

Auto zone sells a valve kit for that valve and comes with the special tool to unscrew it.
