My A/C Service Valve Is leaking air and UV dye from the servicing port. Im assuming the valve is just bad. How would I go about replacing it myself? Im assuming I will have to bleed off the residual pressure but what is the exact part number? And is it as simple as take off old and put on new?
I would appreciate any help, Thanks.

Is there a trick to using your link? I can drill down to the "Parts Kit" but when I select a category I get the following error: uncomment: mysqli_conn line 86 Does the same thing when I do a parts number search. Thanks....
A lot of134a valves leak there not as well made as the r12 valves. that's what the cap is for, make sure the cap has an oring in it . Then check for leaks.
I struggled to find leak in my 1993 car; it kept refrigerant abt 18 months. After two refills I finally suspected the service valve. A new valve is not expensive but to install it, I'm afraid you need to empty the system. However, after latest refill I put an o-ring under the service valve plastic cap and A/C has been ok for more than two years now. The R134a pressure should be too far too high for an o-ring, so maybe dirt causing leak got out from the valve in latest refill? Nevertheless my new replacement valve (A 001 830 28 84) is still waiting for the next A/C service.
