AC hoses

[fast400]

Anyone replace the AC hoses on their TTA? Looking for the correct sizes. I'm thinking #12,6,8...but I'm not sure.

Do you mean the rubber hoses on the hose assembly from the compressor?

 

[fast400]

Yup! Rubber from compressor.

Can't find the dimensions listed anywhere ... however they are no different from any ofther 3rd Gen or GM car from that time.

Do you have someone that can take the original hose assembly apart and crimp new hoses on there? Can't they just measure yours when they cut them off?

Please share your findings as I'm sure others will need this down the line at some point.

Are you hoping to do it yourself and need to order the hoses or are you bringing it to an AC hose shop?

 

[fast400]

I have the equipment to do this myself. I just need to order new sleeves. I'll keep you guys up to date.

If anyone needs to do this in the future, here's the sizes: #10, #8 or 13/32, 5/16

Just got the new compressor in. I kept the clutch that came with it seems to work fine. I'll hold on to the old pulley just in case.

Glad you got it sorted.

How did the hose assembly turn out? Any photos, lessons learnt with regards to taking it all apart and replacing (crimping) new hoses on there?

For the compressor how hard was it to remove and install the pulley (Swapping the original pulley onto the new compressor)? I've heard / read its not so easy?
