The high side fitting nut where it connected to the condenser was seized to the line and I had to cut the line with bolt cutters to spin it off.If your hardware, hose ends were still good, a good hose shop could have just replaced the hose and swaged them on.
I have used four seasons for a lot of years and have had good results. That's not to say poop doesn't happen but they are one of the larger, long term supplier. Good luck!
There used to be a really good A/C guy around here that did just that but he retired and the guy that took over his shop ran it into the ground.
