hey all, been offline for a while, I just replaced my a/c hoses last year and found the parts instock at AutoZone. just walked up to the counter and purchased them. They come in 2 assemblies, and really couldn't be any easier to replace. I think they were around $55 each. Be sure to buy a new reciever dryer $29 and gaskets (less than $10) Jack (formally known as Manhattan Jack)
