I am not positive how deep I will go into hacking a dehumidifier. I'd like to find out what equipment is required for various "levels" I am envisioning.

Level 1
What tools/equipment are needed/recommended for servicing a dehumidifier: checking pressure; topping off refrigerant; and other tasks I probably am not aware of.

Level 2
What tools/equipment are needed for properly removing R22 from my dehumidifier and replacing it with R290? I know R22 has to be properly disposed of, but the "how" and "where" I do not know. How is lubricating oil handled?

Level 3
What tools/equipment are needed for a complete Frankenstein reconstruction: removal of refrigerant; cutting piping; adding new piping; TXV; etc.
