    Thanks to all for this help!! :33: Clearly I was in a little over my head here, though that is kinda how i force myself to learn new things sometimes.

    thank you! i knew this new snap ring pliers set would come in handy. i did buy an acdelco 15-2962 but it says "to accumulator" which i guess means attach to accumulater? i also have a gpd 1711425 trying to figure out where that goes lol.

    now they have stopped responding to email and just closed the ticket. rockauto.com is a real loser of a company. "This is an automated message to let you know that your email could not be received because Ticket 100379758 has been closed."

    well cockauto is back at it again. just received the second refrigerant line which is damaged and cut open. box is in perfect condition and they just threw it in there with about a million air bubbles like it's going to make up for the fact they are sending out BS. this company just sucks...

    Door sagging, but can't drive in new pins!

    Oh right, because there is no record of successful pin and bushing replacement that results in a door that still sags. Maybe you need to step back and do some research

    Restricted fitting to replace heater QD. Udated Delco fitting 15-33220

    ok ill skip it then. did not realize what it is until i have it out, and did not know about pipe thread either. Any removal tips for something like this? there is a small amount of coolant crust around it so i assume it is leaking a small amount tho.

    yes bushings are different sizes which correlates to the orientation of the tapered pin. Don't want to mess this part up i know.
