Default discharge, fix problem, replace drier, evacuate to a vacuum, check for leaks....

THEN recharge.

Also, don't forget to add a little more refrigerant oil as you'll lose some when you discharge the system.

Default Your english is fine.

"orifice" is often used with a sexual connotation, so they are just joking around.

Not sure what to tell you about getting a receiver/drier.
