I would remove both of the long hoses that run to the condenser and take them to a hydraulic shop and have new ones made. Make sure they use steel - not aluminum - connectors. They will probably have to reuse the fitting that connects to the back of the compressor, the rest should be standard stock.

The total cost should be under $200.00.

Eventually you might want to replace the two that run up to the evaporator, but thats a much larger job.

Good luck,

Tim

the Condenser up front) the end of last summer by letting it idle on a hot
day...not too smart! Lost all my refrigerant...now as summer is
approaching I'll miss the cool air.

I believe that's the high pressure hose?????...can I repair it or is the
pressure too high??????

If anyone has a hose, let me know and what the price would be.

Thanks a zillion,
