What type of Schrader valve for the AC?

[skott]

Hey guys, I have a 2006 V8 that has a leaky Schrader valve on the low-side AC. I want to buy a replacement, but I've researched it enough to realize there are several types and sizes, but haven't been able to research enough to know specifically which type/size I need.
If I just buy a JRA type R134a valve, will that do the trick?
Thanks.

yes, I believe it's a standard J134 schrader valve but I had to also buy a special tool just to remove it when I serviced my GM truck years ago.

This post talks about replacing the valves, unfortunately I can't seem to find information on what kind of valves they are exactly...

Thanks for the responses. I bought a little kit from Amazon that has several types/sizes of valves and a tool to replace it without having to de-pressurize the system. At some point soon, I'll buy a vacuum pump and do it proper (I've added refrigerant a few times already so I know there is probably some air in the system).
I'll post when I get the valves and let everyone know what size it is.
