Get a recharge kit and follow its instructions. Get one with a pressure gauge. It's rather easy. Canister plugs into low pressure side while the AC is on Max and you hold the canister upside down until the pressure gauge reads within range.
The port where you inject the new coolant is on the driver side, right up near the firewall, down below the brake fluid...
There's a small black plastic cap covering the fitting that you unscrew.
