aluminum AC lines
Gents:
I am replacing the aluminum AC lines in my 92 EX, but can't bring myself to pay the dealership prices. Anyone have a source for bulk alum tube and fittings, or aftermarket lines at a fair price?
Thanks

Then I would go to the U-Pull-It yard to get the lines.
I would suggest doing the repair right the first time. IMO, that would involve replacing all of the o-rings in the system. Even the ones under the dash. I would replace the styrofoam in the evaporator. Definitely replace the receiver/drier.
You will probably want to inspect the compressor. If there is a coating of grease around the pulley bolt, then you would want to replace the shaft seal. I also replaced the o-rings in the body when I did mine.
TexasHonda can give you some pointers. He has done some a/c work. I did the a/c on my 95 and it ended up working well after the repair.

I will start a thread on this in the near future so I can learn how to do it all correctly.
