I'm looking for the valve to recharge my AC - is it something that a do it your-selfer with so so mechanical skills can easily do?

If so can you provide some pointers to help me.
Thanks in advance.

REMOVE FRT GRILLE THERE U WILL SEE THE HIGH SIDE VALVE & BEHIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP DOWN ON THE FRAME U WILL SEE THE LOW PRESSURE SIDE VALVE, NOW ABOUT U RECHARGING IT, DONT RECOMMEND IT CAUSE SYSTEM WORKS UNDER HIGH PRESSURE IF U CHARGE IT TOO MUCH IT COULD BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE, SYSTEM TAKES 87KG OR 870GRAMS OF FREON FROM EMPTY, NOTE SYSTEM WILL NEED TO BE VACUUMED FIRST BEFORE RECHAGING OR IT WONT FUNCTION AS WELL FOR LONG. POST BACK & LET ME KNOW IF PASSENGER SIDE IS COLDER THAN DRIVER SIDE RIGHT NOW?
