Replacing Low Pressure AC line
So i use to be turbo'd, and my external wastegate had a dump tube that went into the atompshere, the dumptube fell off and before i knew it i broke my low pressure ac line, like there is a hole in it. I patched it up with jb weld, put more refridgerant **** in and it worked fine, until it ran out because their is still a leak. So i bought a new line, Now my question is, it looks easy to install, some reason im getting a little itch on my back to take it to someone who knows what they are doing to do this. Can anyone tell me how hard it is to install, i dont have many tools just a 96 craftsman tool kit, let me know if it is easy to install or if i should take it to someone to do this for me. It is on a 97 civic ex.
Oh ya and for people say im a ***** for have ac, i have a ***** in my car( my girlfriend) so this a must in order for her to ride around in my car
any help would be great.
thanks

Re: Replacing Low Pressure AC line (Wojo97civic)
It's a pretty easy install. The problem is, in order for it to work right, you'll need to take it to a shop. They'll have to vac it to get the moisture out of the system, then refil.
I'm pretty strapped for time, and the garage I use to work on stuff myself is about 1/2 hour away (and I have to pack my car with tools; so if there was something like this that I'd have to get it to a shop to do, then I'd probably pay the extra 1/2 - 1 hr of labor for them to do that as well to save me the hassle. But that's up to you.
