Hose/Line HVAC: Service Precautions

CAUTION:
^ It may be necessary to cut the underbody auxiliary line(s) being serviced into sections to facilitate removal. Make sure to correctly identify the line(s) being serviced before carrying out any cutting of the line(s).
^ Pull the bracket off the stud before attempting to pry it off the lines to prevent component damage.
^ Use a wrench on each side of the fitting to prevent damage to the A/C fitting.
^ Overtightening of the nut will cause the stud to break away from the floor pan.
