Air Conditioning Line (Peanut) Fitting: Disconnect
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. 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:
Support the female fitting with a wrench to prevent the tubes from twisting.
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.
