Guys, trying to figure out if it's worth it to buy
tools to remove and install ac connector spring clips.
Anyone have any experience with replacing ac connector
seals? I'm thinking of replacing ac hose seals and or
entire ac hose and put in new accum./drier myself.
Then bring it to a shop for evac. and charge.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
