Rear AC Hose Leak

I have a 2000 Windstar 3.8 with a freon leak at one of my rear refrigerant lines at the point where it starts its way across the bottom of the car. Has anyone ever replaced one? Thanks

Re: Rear AC Hose Leak

If it is aluminum 3/8" line- I use swageloks -- or an inline filter-- just cut out the bad section and replace with either-- a whole lot less work than replacing the entire line- and less costs.....

Thanks for the fast reply, I use swagelock fittings at work. Where can you get swagelock fittings? (other than from work, haha)

They are usually on Ebay-- or you can google swagelok for a dealer near you-- but most make you buy a whole box full.. I got mine from work...

they are made for specific metals they are sealing-
