Re: Leak
I think I found it. It'a $175 with shipping. I'll call my Nissan dealer tomorrow and see if they will confirm the part number. If so I'll R&R whatever it takes.

Re: Leak
That is a nightmare
I'd be looking at a salvage yard,
or finding the male end somewhere and getting swagelok fittings

Re: Leak
I know, that's what I've been trying to say LOL.
Excellent idea!! Find one in a salvage yard and just cut it off in the straight part where it's crossing over the condenser and splice it in with a swagelok. I should have thought of that, fog brain set in apparently, lol.tbirdtbird wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 3:27 pm I'd be looking at a salvage yard, or finding the male end somewhere and getting swagelok fittings
Thanks tbirdtbird !!!
Re: Leak
You'd need aluminum SwageLok metric fittings, so likely would need to order those. My suggestion would be to remove the front end stuff and then remove the condenser, that's what I'd do.

Re: Leak
No need to remove the condenser. The line is about 8.5mm OD. I'll stop by Fastenal tomorrow to see if they have the splice. The red line represents what will be replaced. I'll be sure the replacement line isn't stressed in the same place. I'll be chillin soon!Cusser wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 4:26 pm You'd need aluminum SwageLok metric fittings, so likely would need to order those.

Re: Leak
Just in case anyone is interested, I wound up getting the new line and it was actually pretty easy to install. I did a quick test and it seems to be holding pressure, so it's evacuating now.
