I went to try to replace the receiver dryer and found the plug pretty stripped from the previous ownerI have used a set of large hex from AutoZone and it simply was too stripped to begin with.
I lost patience working in a 98 degree humid day yesterday and decided to drill it out.
turned out to be kind of a mess. I don’t want to strip the threads and create an even worse situation.
burn /melt it out with heat?
Any ideas at this point would help.
thank God the new receiver drier set has a brass plug.
Also I’m concerned about the system being open from a rotten AC line that I had to replace (PS wheel well area) that was left open situation in the system. Do you think the compressor lost a good amount of its PAG oil from being open system?
