AC Drier Hose Part Number (2 Viewers)

[donemilio21]

I hate creating a new thread, but despite searching for almost two hours I cannot find the part number for the AC drier hose.
Does anybody know what the part number is?
I cracked mine when I hit a sand dune.
I want to actually get a shorter drier and push it up a couple of inches when I change the hose.

Mine broke in the same place. I Believe you are looking for this: 887166A421. I could be wrong, the fische isn't super clear

 

[donemilio21]

yes, that schematic is a bit hard to read. I think it is #15 http://images.wrenchead.com/smartpages/partinfo_resize/MOC3/OEDIAG2_8412070.jpg

But the reason I can't be sure is that my drier has two hoses on the top. In the part schematic it only shows one hose connecting to the top.
Am I misreading it?

Must be two hoses .. from the condenser to the drier and from the drier to the evaporator unit in the cabin. You need to pay attention on the connection. The old style or oem was olive flare nut and those are obsolated today. Today you can get only o-ring type. However if you want to keep the condenser side olive and the drier side o-ring than its also possible to make the pipe olive and use an adaptor if the drier is o-ring fitted.

Here's what I was looking at:

The trouble is that there are 3 parts with the same number. I believe what you want is the feed side or *688716A or 9305-88716A Google search also brought up 887166A421 and 887166A420.

I ended up ordering 887166A420 part for $30.
It is 88716A in the diagram above. We'll see if that will work.

Cool, let us know if that was the right part.

yes, that was the correct part! I put the hose, recharged with a can of 134R and now I have a working AC.

Reviving old thread. AC is not my specialty. Had a front end collision awhile back. Broke the same line. I ordered new drier, holder bracket, and line. Do I need to do anything in terms of evacuating the system prior to removing the drier and line? My thinking is that any freon already leaked out from system..... 95 LC

If your line is broken/cracked like the one pictured....then all of your refrigerant has already vented to atmosphere. So...no you needn't be concerned with recovering/evacuating any.

Of course, you'll need to replace the drier, pull a deep vacuum on the system and recharge it.

That's what figured. Thanks for the response. My plan is to install the components and take to a shop to have it recharged. Anything else I need to do (or not do) other than swapping out the parts?

Thanks again.

No. Use new O-Rings and add 1.5 ozs PAG46 oil to the drier before installation. Be sure and let the shop know you already added oil to the drier. Ask them to install new schrader valves in the service ports...so those won't become leak points in the future and be sure you have caps for the service ports.

Other than that....they should be able to charge your system just fine.

Does anyone know the O-ring part numbers and if they are actually required. I already ordered the dryer and the line.

And how does one add oil to the dryer? Sorry about the stupid questions. AC is something I have no experience in.

 

[Rhkwon]

And does the new line already come with the O-rings? And if I replace the dryer do I need to replace the O-ring on the second line? If so I assume I need 2 for that line making it a total of 4 O-rings?

Yes, a new pipe does come with O-rings. Added for future reference.
