Guys,
I apparently have a leak in my AC line which runs along the firewall and under the brake booster. The dealership wants 5 hours plus parts to replace. Has anyone any experience with installing flare fittings on this or a similar hard line? I already own the new line. The reasoning is that if we could segment that line into 2 or 3 pieces via the fittings, it could be installed without all of the disassembly otherwise required and save a lot of labor. I don't know how much pressure is in that line, what metal it is made of (appears to be aluminum), and what other issues might be involved. BTW, this is a '96 FZJ80 with 180k...
Thanks!
