Air Conditioning Line (Peanut) Fitting: Disconnect
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the nut and separate the 2 halves of the peanut fitting.
- Remove the O-ring seal with a non-metallic tool.
CAUTION:
Do not use metal tools to remove the O-ring seal. They can cause axial scratches across the O-ring seal groove, resulting in refrigerant leaks.
