A/C suction hose reconditioning?

[ntenseone]

I was hoping to find out if there is anyone on here that is recommended for sending your A/C hoses to in order to have them reconditioned. Mine is leaking where the rubber hose is crimped to the hard line right by the compressor. These hoses are discontinued from Acura and I don't think I want to trust a used part only to find out that it is defective.



I do have a local place that I think might be able to do this, but I have yet to talk to them (It's Monday morning and they're not open just yet) and I thought if there was anyone here on Prime that does it, then I would just go ahead and give them the business.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You may want to confirm this with a knowledgeable parts person but early part number is: 80310-SLO-A01.
2005 part number is: 80310-SLO-A02 and looks to be identical and is also available.

There are probably a lot of industrial hose specialists who could do the fabrication part reusing your original hard lines. The rub will be that most of them will have hoses for hydraulics, air and other industrial fluids. They may not have the appropriate hoses for refrigerant. It might be best to start with an auto air conditioning specialist and see if they can do the fabrication.

Most AC specialty shops can crimp on new hose, I know they build new hose assemblies for custom installations. I have purchased the end fittings to make pressure test caps before. just take you hoses there in person, as I would not trust a phone call "yea we can do that"
