new compressor is squealing do I need to flush

Year: 2001
Make: ford
Model: taurus
Engine Size: 3.0L
Refrigerant Type: r134a

ok we took off our a/c clutch last november and put on a shorter belt because the bearings were so worn that the clutch shook when it turned. We bought a compressor/clutch unit and put it on without changing the hoses or accumulator. After putting oil and freon r134a in it seemed fine and ran great. Today When I got on the highway it stopped blowing cold air and started squealing. How do I get my system flushed in case the accumulator was full of crap?

Should have flushed the system before installing the replacement compressor. Compressor is probably toast now. Warranty void since procedures were not followed.

Flush procedure is listed in the flushing forum. Hecats explains the process very well.
