im almost positive you have to take it somewhere...
and for us 93'ers...it costs one HELL of a lot more to do from what i hear.
have to have someone double check on this...but 94+ changed something and its easier to do

Read this thread. It should have all the info you need.

FYI

I have a 1994 r2 and it needed r12 freon. I ordered it off of ebay along with a hose and tap.

the real issue is that r12 (old) compressor oil which is mineral oil, will not work with r134 (new). they have diff cooling charateristics but a flush and new oil with 134 after you fix the leak will do
