Ok, so I did a spark plug change yesterday, and a buddy was giving me a hand. Well, he pulled on the house circled in the pic on the passenger side to try to make some room, and apparently messed it up, because now my a/c doesn't work, and it leaks out the freon. Does anyone know how to remove this hose, and if it can be gotten from a local parts store? It is to hot to be without the air!!!

The hard line you've circled is the AIR tube, which doesn't factor into AC (I think). More likely, there is damage to the hose just above that.

That looks like an air injection line going to the exhaust from the pic. That has nothing to do with your ac.

well, i assumed that was the problem, because when I tried putting freon in it, up at the top it was leaking a green substance, so I thought maybe that was the dye in the freon to locate leaks....

Check to see if you did not pinch the wires for the AC, they run through that area.

right up there at the top that's circled is where I hear air and it starts leaking when I add freon.... nothing appears to be pinched anywhere

Might be on that a/c hose next to what you have circled..but not from that air injection tube you have marked.

ok, after further investigating, it is the high side hose that runs parallel to the one circled. It was misleading me because it was shooting out onto the other hose, and i was thinking that was the one leaking.

I recently had to replace my hoses. I found the best prices at rockauto. They were cheaper than any other parts store by a ton and only took about 30 mins to put in. Just make sure you have the system vacuumed afterwards and refilled. Good luck.

I smashed that line with a prybar when I was doing motor mounts, picked up another one from a part-out thread on here for 25 bucks shipped, replace that line and add some freon.

replacing line and just adding freon? not the best idea.
the refrigerant attracts water and if you expose it to atmosphere it will ruin is efficiency [read: ability to exchange heat, lose cooling performance]

you need to vacuum the system clean after replacing the lines, then recharge it.
