As a technician, shop manager, and 30+ year veteran of the industry, ive got to say ive never been more amazed at a "backyard trick" such as the "use a paint cap" trick. Just used your method to remove a set of a/c lines on my buddies Fox mustang. After trying 2 days (unsucessfully)I used yoyr paint cap trick and they were off in less than 10 minutes. Thank you for your contribution.
Thank you for the kind words, It's great that these videos really do help sometimes.
Thank you, just did the trick for me. Saved me loosing an hour running into town to perform a 5 min repair.
Thank You very much for posting this as I was trying to figure out how to disconnect My A/C High side hose on My '87 Crown Victoria, & this just answered the question.
Very informative. I’m about to work on my a/c and no one else tells you on their videos how to do this simple task, but you Sir, did it very well and I thank you for it. Thanks again, I pressed like button on your video. ✌️
Awesome. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. 👍
THANK YOU! I’m stuck at home no transportation and some jerk stole my tool to do this but I know I have several rolls of teflon tape. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Anyone can do a video with the correct tool but it takes someone creative to find the work around.
You are golden! You deserve an award . Thanks for the trick.
That Helped Me Figure Out The Problem With Those Fuel Pump Connectors , Otherwise I Wouldn't Have Known ; THANKS !!
Thanks buddy. Wasn't really sure how they worked. Working on a 91 mustang.
Thank God for videos like this
Thanks a bunch, big help. Made mine out of some 10 gauge steel I had lying around
The spray can lid is almost ready-made for this. Though I've ordered a set of the white collar versions, I'm going to cut up a paint lid to try. Thanks.
Awesome, thanks for posting this very useful information.
Thanks, worked perfectly!
Dude your a life saver. This technique saved my ass thank you👍
Thanks alot buddy for your DIY knowledge.thanks alot for informing us.
Be safe..
So helpful, thank you sir
Very helpful! No auto stores by me carry the correct tools! I’ll be trying this tonight. Thank you!
Make sure there is no pressure in the system.
Thank you for watching and for the comment.
Rex sounds good, my application is slightly different, similar lock but it’s for a turbo oil supply line, so no pressure!
great video!
Great video
❤ thanks for the video it really helped
Excellent!
Thanks
Thanks 👍🏾
You saved me 50.00 plus 2 hrs with the old tape idea
It worked, once you get the plastic behind the fitting, pull hard. Came right out.
Tks bro
Awesome
Thanks lol doing it rn
Great tip. My question is, can you de pressurise the ac system without any pro equipment or will I have to get the freon collected professionally?
Wondering if a shark bite fitting release would work? Seems like it works the same way.
I forgot about those damn springs in there. Now to find a new job and hope it doesnt piss rain before i get paid to get a can of juice. 😂
clever
Thank you, simply amazing was using that pain in the ass little scissor tool and I wanted to give up and just sell my car lol
Are you trying to expand the spring by getting under it or over it ?
I want to make the tool but I'd like to have an idea what I'm fighting.
My new dryer wont connect to the line in the firewall via the quick connect i even tried different springs i don't get it.
Mine was SUPER Finicky on a VW! The tool had to be removed before pulling the pipe or it wouldn't come! You have to push the spring and pull a little, that keeps the spring pressed. Then remove tool and the pipe will release. It would NOT come with the tool in place!!! And I was wrenching on it, pushing and pulling, twisting it round for ages! Dam. It came out so easy after I removed the tool! Live and learn. I failed with multiple home made tools. The good news it Amazon next day was a set for $6. All good now I hope. Lets get it re gassed and see.
I'm having difficulty getting the line to snap back on..any advice?
My 07 eclipse has a different fitting than that and I can't find any info anywhere on it.
Ive got the tool. I can feel the lip go under the spring. But the hose wont pull out of the fitting.
I hate these connections,i have almost every tool imaginable to take these off and everytime is a struggle, i have never used the little house looking ones (thats what i call them,lol) that you show as your "go to" so i think ill pick up a set sometime soon, i am replacing my entire A/C system and i was trying to get the big line from the evaporator and i just ended up cutting it, ran out of patience.
Do you have to do anything before disconnecting the lines?
Absolutely, do not attempt this if the system is under pressure. If you don't have ac gauges to check, you could carefully press the low side port Schrader valve to see if there is any pressure still in the system.
Hope this helps.
What if u can't get them off either way what next
Can't get it to work with the tool im thinking i should bevel the tool some..seems it's just pushing the spring back not lifting it any..pissn me off! Probably better off just make my own lol. It's coming off i may have to buy a grenade!
why why why cant it just connect with a nut like everything else??? designer be like i hate mechanics, so i'll design this lol.
So tempting to lop these bastards off with a metabo and socket weld them with simple welding rods and a mapp torch
Not always that easy. I have one that I can not get the tool to push into the fitting. It's on a 2007 Fi150 with very little room to work next to the firewall. Another Ford design failure in my book.
Same here with a 2009 F250. I have the tool and it still wont release.
@@danielc9312 I had to work very hard and tried 3 different tools. I think what is happening is the spring is getting hung up by the tool and not expanding outwards correctly. When I finally got it off hours later, the spring fell out of the fitting easily. That tells me the spring was a little too small. I actually sprayed a bunch of lubricant (corrosionX) with help and a straw. Then worked it pipe back and forth while working the tool to get it to push in enough. I actually moved a little bit and then the tool worked in further before it came all the way off. Again, extremely hard and barely enough room to work. The most ridiculous line I have taken off.
@@lanceyoung8808 I'm going to try to spray some wd 40 in there and see if that helps. I'll clean off the parts and I already have new o rings waiting for it anyways so it shouldn't do any harm.
@@danielc9312 It should be fine. Try pushing in and pulling the tool into fitting. Might have to work it back and forth. Good luck! It's a pain.
@@lanceyoung8808 As a matter of fact I just got it off a bit earlier after spraying it with the WD-40. That stupid line was blocking my spring compression tool to get the roller follower in on the exhaust valve on cylinder 4. Such a P.I.T.A. but its finally off thanks to your suggestion. The faster the truck gets done the faster we can leave California :)
I can not take this crap off lol

Five Nights Addressing Ford issues... with only meth, that's it. "No crack, No smack, just a busted AC and a pipe full of twack"
Spent $15 on the wrong tool and then got it loose with the piece of plastic
See has a bunch of horse shit because it's not that easy I literally have the tools to do that and I did just that and it's still not loosening looks like I'll just take a sawzall to it
