I'm trying to remove the A\C service port cap. It's the plastic cap located near the radiator that is marked 6Nm. It requires a 22mm socket. Mine just spins and spins without backing off. Any Ideas?

You need to put vicegrips on it and PULL while turning counterclockwise. That is the highside valve. Do you really want to add through the high side?

vegasjetskier,
Thanks for the response. I'll give that a try. I want to see where the system presently is at with a set of A\C pressure gauges I have.
