How do you do it?
Repair manuals say to take it to a shop. That is not an option.

In order to be in compliance with the law, the repair manual is correct. Refrigerant needs to be recovered, not released into the atmosphere. If you're not worried about a hefty fine if busted doing it (if memory serves me correctly, it's around $20,000), just hook the hose on the low side and open the valve. It'll all blow out and you'll have a discharged system.
You know those tools that you take the core out of a tire valve with?
Thats how. lol
Its also illegal, but if you dont do it on Main St. noone will be any the wiser.

Hey retards!!! There is a reason why it's illegal. Refrigerant needs to be recovered, not released into the atmosphere. There is a hefty $20,000 fine if busted doing it.
Why don't you let your kids stand close by when let one of the lines "accidentally" break.
It only cost less than $20 to have someone come out and remove it.

Isn't that what I said in the very first reply in this thread? Although, R134a is a HFC refrigerant, so it's supposed to be environmentally friendly, unlike R12, which isn't very kind to the ozone being a CFC...
R-134a (tetrafluoroethane) has no affect on ozone; however, it traps heat more than carbon dioxide and it's very poisonous. R-134a was developed once CFCs (R-12) were being phased out.
