AC Condenser lines leaky and stuck. HELP!

Post by moogvo »

I am in the process of repairing (Replacing would be a better term) my B2 AC system. I have a new compressor and accumulator. The lines were leaking at the spring loaded condenser connection. I have the tool, but the lines seem to be seized together. I really don't want to spend another $200.00 to replace the condenser and lines, but I may well have to. Anyone know how to get the lines unstuck without destroying the condenser?

It's gonna be 102 here this weekend and I would REALLY love to have some AC!

I finally got the AC system finished. I had to heat the lines at the condenser with a torch to free them. I polished them up and put new O rings on. Works like a champ.
