AC line damaged...

from the mechanics I've contacted, they all suggest replacing the line. No one suggested patching or retro-fitting with a coupler. Estimate is about $500 to fix.
HotRodG35, can I simply use a copper coupling with compression fittings and o-rings from Home Depot? or are there specific types to use? I suppose I can go this route first to see if it works before replacing the entire line.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I wish I thought of that when I had the issue. I was lucky, I found the AC line on craigslist for only 10$ bucks!!! Installed it myself too lol.

You got lucky finding that deal on a AC line. Ultimately its more work but your keeping the OEM integrity, good job on the DIY installation.

anyone have any ideas how to take off the hi pressure line attached to the firewall area? I don't have the Inifiniti tool, but got one of the Lisle ac disconnect tools that slip over the line and supposedly helps unclick the line, but I couldn't remove it. Should it just pop off with ease? Am I supposed to pull on the disconnect tool and the line at the same time? Looked like it was going to be easy fix, but now it's going to take more time...

hmm im not positive about what your talking about...maybe take a pic...is it a plug? most of the plugs or hoses in our engine bay are easy to take off...the plugs have a little clip on the bottem you push in and wiggle it free and hoses have a metal ring [forgot the name] that you losen with a flat head and then use a little muscle and pull it free...worst case senario is you break a broken part a bit more...you can always call your local dealership for advice they wont charge for for that...

Ended up having to buy the Nissan/Infiniti AC line disconnect tools to finally pop off the line, as I could not find this kit at my local parts store. Paid $17 for the 2 tools to disconnect the hi and low pressure AC lines. Used them and they easily popped off. Now to get the new line in there, vacuum, and refill...
