has anyone ever replaced this line or know of a link for a how-to to replace it. I'd rather do it myself and save my self the extra 650+ in labor charges.

JMHO....
We complain when dealers don't suport us and yet you would
resort to sticking the dealer with a repair for something that's
not their fault?
Sorry but I don't agree.

I know Ray Catena Infiniti charges $144......when I first put my injen intake on....I brought it there for an oil change.....the service manager opened the hood and pointed out what was about to happen....then he brought me into the office and showed me a stack of 30-40 receipts where people replaced the ac lines....

I went to Pepboys paid $2.00 for what looks like a rubber bushing with a hole in the center.....I used a knife to cut into the center....slide it in place right between the ac line....and the screw which creates the hole now there is 1 inch of seperation ...1 year later there are no issues.

If the dealer has a stack of 30-40 receipts of people who had their AC lines replaced due to intakes, they know about the problem and it's going to be hard to conceal a hole in the same spot as everyone else. Not worth it, IMO.

Why not? Do you know how much profit these dealerships are making on us? Do you not agree that they overcharge on almost anything you do there? Do you know how many recalls there were on the 03 coupes?

Does that justify commiting fraud?

You screwed up. You should pay to have it fixed. I had the same problem (due to a Vortech supercharger install but the same idea). I bought a replacement line and had my mechanic do the swap then I had the dealer refill the freon. It was expensive indeed. I'm pretty sure that $144 is the cost of just the replacement part.

When a dealer scratched your rear bumper one time, put a dent in it the other time, had you go in 6-7 times for recalls, and on top gave you $hitty service... YES
