Need help finding replacement A/C hose from compressor to condenser

[86Woodgrain]

So today I tried adding Red Tek 12a to my A/C system. Long story short as soon as the compressor kicked on I got a face full of refrigerant because there is a cut in the AC hose from the compressor to the condenser.

I looked on RockAuto but can't see the line. How do I get a replacement line? Does anyone have a part # ? I am in Canada so would prefer a source here to buy from. If I have a part # that could help me track a part down.

Worst case I'm thinking I can go to a local AC shop and see if they have some ideas....

Thanks

You'll have to get a hose shop to just replace the rubber part of the hose while reusing your old metal ends.   Very common procedure - I'd hope there is a shop around somewhere that can do it for you.   I use a shop in Austin for mine.

There are 3 different hoses listed in the parts book, depending on if factory or American Air; and which ends are on the hoses.

Just find a place to re-hose your old one.

I'm sure there is somewhere in town that could re-do a hydraulic hose. Mine is factory A/C, 86.

Oh man, DUH, I just remembered I have a parts car that's basically identical LOL I'm going to go parts hunting on it tomorrow! I'm quite sure it has A/C although I haven't taken a part off it since last year.

I agree with this recommendation.  An AC shop should be able to replace the bad part of your hose pretty easily. Good luck!

I swapped the line from the parts car and put in a can of 12a. I discovered a leak at the condenser it looks like I may have cross threaded that connection. Whoops. I will take it apart and look closer another day.

Edit: I worked on it after supper. I did indeed cross thread the connection at the condenser but I was able to very carefully re-attach the hose and it seems correct and secure. I charged it up, got nice cold A/C with one can, and now fingers crossed it doesn't leak all out in the next day or two. I also replaced the O-rings with new green ones.
