Get it? There should be a tiny amount of play in the line to push the line it in and out while working the tool in. The tool can bottom out and release the retainer, but the o-ring may still make it feel like it's on.
@@aaronb7990 Yeah I got it, thanks for the help your video actually helped my figure out what to do, I guess for me I had to unhook that container it was going to seems like it owuldnt come out no matter what unless I unhooked that cylinder the pipes go to
Mine was empty but yes if it had been charged it would have. you can check by pressing the service port valve to see if you have any pressure. Also oxygen is bad for the system. A vacuum test and charge by an AC machine is recommended after servicing. I got one from a guy on facebook market here for like $50 which is barely more than the cans at the store. He had a nice Snap-On charger unit in his house garage. It took like 30min, BIG tip is replace the service caps. the valve will leak The Cap Is The Seal!
This was great. It took me a couple of minutes to disassemble both lines.
Thanks man! I didn't want to run all the way into town to grab an A/C connector tool!
You just saved me a 45 min drive. Thank you!
This was just what I needed! Thanks!
That is an awesome hack. I've never seen the tools for those anywhere where I stay.
😎🤙

Way to go MacGyver!
Did you lose all your gas when you disco'd the lines?

Is there anything special needed to re connect them?
No. Simply wiggle it a bit to work the spring inside back over the pipe.
Thank you.
nice

Thank you
