I'm replacing my ac hoses as the old ones busted due to being right on the header when breaking motor in. I got the old ones out, and I'm having a hell of a time trying to put it back in. i tried pulling the compressor off but wont come off? just 3 bolts holding it in the acc. bracket right/

hum......did u connect the rest of the lines first if so u might have to take it apart and start with the comp first and keep in mind that if its a reproduction hose its like 30%differant than the old hose so it might be longer

sdotlog

You defiantly need them you just dont throw freon at it. The low side and high have to be at certain specs.
