anybody know a way to drain the PAG oil out of the AC compressor without removing it? I'm replacing both lines & the condenser, and lost an unknown amount of the oil when the condenser came off. The truck has 148xxx miles so replacing the compressor isn't a bad idea, but at $360 (local NAPA Auto price for oem), I'm looking at options.

Cleaned out garage yesterday, have Raptor half-way in up on jack stands today. Removing front shocks/coils to put Hammer rebuilt shocks and new Eibach coils on.
Front driver side is mocking me, waiting for @Gumby to come over and help me strongarm that one off. Front passenger side practically fell off. I guess it heard me cussing the driver's side and decided it didn't want any of that.
Very concerned about popping a brake line during all of this. Too much tension on the hoses. They could have put 2-3 more inches on them. I know........that's what SHE said.

i just did this and had to disconnect the sway bar to get the LCA down far enough to get the shock out. you can also remove the caliper and hang it from the sway bar and that will keep the lines from stretching. its easier if you have a second person when trying to hang the caliper. i used some rope and a carabiner.Cleaned out garage yesterday, have Raptor half-way in up on jack stands today.

When did AC compressors become ridiculously expensive? Autozone wanted $400+tax for new, $340+tax for "reman" units. And they don't even bother to throw in the PAG oil anymore. If it wasn't such a hassle to change them out when they fail, I wouldn't be considering doing it now. Ok, rant over.
Just Geisers and Deavers? About 2k in parts to completely refresh the truck sounds awesome.
When I worked at a dealership (like 15 years ago now!) I had a Ford Sport Trek. GEN1 no less! Glad I left though.I work at the chevy part and i ised to drive a 2010 tahoe lol. Then infound this truck and never looked back
