OK guys, Im going to attempt to repair the in-dash factory ac system myself. Found most of the parts on rockauto, but wondering if I should replace the high and low side pressure lines also?
My compressor did shred itself, with harsh grinding and compressor lube/oil flung all over the engine compartment, so Ive heard I need to flush the system after replacing parts. But I cant find any shop that will flush without doing the entire repair. Im wondering if I even need a flush, since Im already replacing most components, and just replace whatever parts are left?
Ordered:
compressor, drier, expansion valve, evap core, condenser.
Problem is - I cant seem to find the low and high side pressure hoses for sale anywhere. Is replacing them a pain due to connection points in the interior/cabin? Or should I simply clean out my existing hoses with a flush kit solvent like this - https://www.amazon.com/Goplus-Condi...8&qid=1527244825&sr=1-2&keywords=ac+flush+kit
Anyone done this before?
