Gerald:

Thanks for the answer, I saw that port but did not dare to open it.

Do I need a torgue wrench to open and close the cover, if so, what is the recommended torque?

Thank you for your assistance.

Susan

The plastic cover you pop off. The guage or recharge line is a pull back clip. No thread or anything. somewhat like a tire valve. Very simple.

Not on the 850. The plastic cap definitely unscrews, not just pops-off.

You never need a torque wrench to open! And frankly, since it's just a plastic cap, just apply a reasonable amount of tightening when putting it back on; i.e., don't "dog" it down! The refrigerant is sealed via the check-valve beneath, of course.
