I have a 2011 3.5l FWD MKZ, and I need to remove and replace the condenser and compressor, but I cannot find any tutorials online to help me do so and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Also, would it be okay if I installed the new compressor and condenser without any refrigerant and drove it to a mechanic that can recharge them? Would it cause any damage? thanks
