I was unfortunate enough to have a stick find its way through the air intake vent on my ARB and push the air condenser in about 3-4 inches. I don't know if I have any damage to my radiator yet but has anyone replaced the condenser? Will I need to recharge it after pulling it out and replacing it? Any suggestions about what considerations I may need to make?

Thanks in advance for any support!

You will have to recharge the system. But there's more...

Once you open the system (the stick already did) you have to evacuate the system with a vacuum pump before you charge it. Then you have to charge it with the right amount of compressor oil and refrigerant.

Most of us don't have access to the vacuum pump you'll need. If you skip that step, moisture trapped in the system will cause it to freeze up inside.
