There is a core removal tool you can buy to remove them without losing any refrigerant. Get a decent one lot of cheap ones on Amazon if they leak that refrigerant. These are used lot in HVAC work they remove the core while they flowing nitrogen to solder, vacuuming. https://youtu.be/jsVwIvdDv-s?si=e...

I think maybe ill just pull the compressor drain it and refill with the the same amount in oi...

I'm assuming it's using an orifice tube is it the right one? When you spray water on the condenser does it blow colder air? You should be getting 40F easily out of that system. I would check the orifice tube I have gotten the wrong one before in a kit from rock auto. I noticed the pressures were not...
