That big "ring" shaped thing is the connection. You need a special A/C line disconnect tool. Stick the tool into the ring to spread the spring inside it, then pull the line away. IIRC the spring is on the side facing the firewal, so you have to stick the tool in from that side. Quote Selected

They seem to work better than the two sided metal ones. Snap the plastic one on, put a bigger open end wrench next to it, and give the wrench a whack with a hammer. Should pop right in.

He could make stops across the country and "lay his hand" on our cars. "I am daminc, I command you to cast out the evil that is rust and replace it with the wholesome goodness that is shiny paint!!"

Project Evolution *** Project Complete **** Wednesday July 9, 2014 Reply #954 – February 22, 2009, 05:05:50 PM I've used the last one on the ac lines. I got a small plastic tool. It looks like a flat circle with a small raised ridge in the center around the hole. It worked really well on both ac and fuel lines. I think it may have came with the first one in your post, jim.

Project Evolution *** Project Complete **** Wednesday July 9, 2014 Reply #956 – February 23, 2009, 06:14:03 PM Got me some of those plastic locking ring dis-connector thingys for thr ac lines......... worked great.just clip it around the tubing.push it into the connector.and pull it apart.and oh , a holeso I decided to pull the bumper shocks off to.What the heck. Why not. Looks like were into a full rebuild of the car anyway.And that radiator support isn't looking very good either.[SIZE="4"]Helloooooo.........[/SIZE]Looks like I have to either replace, or rebuild this one.Well I didn't do much today, but as always, I had fun.I tried to find some spring compressors that would work on the front end, but didn't have any luck. I'm thinking about making one out of threaded rod and some steel plates to remove the front springs. I don't know it I have enough balls to lower the arm to get them out without something going through the center of the spring in case it launches. Mabe 25 years ago I would've, but not anymore.That's all for today. Quote Selected
