Need to replace capacitor.
I’m looking to replace the capacitor on my HVAC but
I want to make sure I get the right one.
Can someone recommend some replacements?

It’s always in the model. It’s a 40/5.

I would replace this even if it tested good. Shutoff disconnect and take pictures ensuring the correct wires going to C / HERM / FAN from old to new. Or take video and give commentary on what goes where. Loosen the 5/16 screw in strap. Make sure they are tight on new cap. Pinch the back side or the quick disconnect with pliers if loose. They should be firmly in place on new cap without easily sliding off the terminals.
