Yeah, I've changed them before. Not much to it, you just put the right lubricant on the o-rings that seal it and put it on. The recharging of the system and leak checking is the hard part. You'll want to get a filter/dryer also, since the system has been open to the atmosphere.<br><br>You can get the AC lines at some autoparts stores, but you may end up at an AC shop, or the dealer. I'd go in the order I listed them just because of price. Another possibility is getting the line off of a wrecked truck. If you can find one that was hit on the other side, or rear, and that line/hose is OK, you could pull it for very cheap in most cases. <br><br>I'd buy the filter/dryer new though. It has a dessicant bag in it to absorb moisture in it. This is why you need to replace yours now, because it's been open to the atmosphere and has probably saturated with moisture so it would not do any good in the repaired AC system.<br><br>Chris

 

I second the filter/dryer. That is a must if you want it to work right. You may want to think about taking it to someone after you change the hose AND dryer. If you know someone who does A/C work then maybe you can use their vaccum pump and gauges.<br>Good Luck<br>Tom
