HELP !!! Please. 1996 Chev Suburban; 1500K; 350 cu inch; 4WD; rear A/C & heater.I have a leak of "green A/C fluid" under rocker panel of right rear side where the 2 heater lines and 2 A/C lines go back to rear AC. The rubber "grommets" that hold the lines in place seem to have "hex" screws in them; not certain. However, I want to cut away about2 or 3 feet of each A/C line & replace with either high-pressure flex hose OR new line section using rubber hose connectors on all 4 "joints". Will either or both approaches work? Which would be recommended? (I don't want to pay for the 90 feet of pre-cut AC lines at a parts store nor go thru process of "snaking" it all under car nor all connections and bracings.) THANKS !!Howard - -- [email protected] ---- 04-28-2009
There is a web site called www.acblockkits.com and the have a/c line repair kits and rear a/c block off kits for just about any vehicle readily available. I repaired my corroded lines last year and it took about 20 minutes and the rear a/c has been working great ever since. HIGHLY recommend this web site!!!
Thanks for this solution!! www.acblockkits.com I got a a/c line repair kit and a block off kit for 2 of my vehicles this past month (one had too many issues to try and repair it) they were both very easy to install and have been working great ever since. Saved me over $1100 for the repairs from the garage

The green is floursent dye. not antifreeze. you can replace the line and use compression fittings as mst are rated well over the 300 max possible psi. you can also use copper of the same diameter. did it last year on my 98 burb cause the lines cost to much
If it is green then it is antifreeze and that fix you are talking about will work just fine. A/c uses freon and is not green, make sure that you don't cut the a/c lines!!
