Default How to de-gas impreza air conditioning safely

Im breaking my impreza currently and need to disconnect the air con now and get radiators out? Whats the best way to do it.

Ive done it years ago in scrap yards where it doesnt matter and it goes off like a bottle of pop if i remember rightly

Shoot the aircon radiater with an air rifle, from a distance tho as that gas is nasty.

Or phone a specialist

Or you could do what I did by accident and loosen the bracket for the aircon and then wander off letting the gas escape
