Default Air Conditioning O rings?

Where can I get some? Apparently mine have broke (or busted, idk) and I need to replace them.

The local auto parts store sells a kit with all of them.

You dont need all of them. Pay a visit to the dealer and get the ones that fit right.

Funny I saw this thread. I rarely read on here anymore. I actually replaced all my A/C O-rings today. Autozone has a rebuild kit. They have to look it up, its not the generic crap. Its indentical to OEM, has more things than you need, and costs like $5.

If you're going to open the system up , might as well replace all of them.

You need all of them in the kit that they sell at the local auto parts store. GM has to order their stuff and you pay three times more for parts made in mexico. The kit in the attached photo costs $8, is made in USA, is usually in stock, and contains seals and o-rings specifically for this car, nothing more, nothing less.
You thought I was saying get a whole o-ring kit of every size ever made, I'm not that ignorant.

How long did it take and on a scale of 1-10 for difficulty?
