95 ZJ A/C hose replacement

[jackjoh]

Just how hard is it to replace the A/C hoses? I have a leak in the one coming out of the accumulator that goes to the firewall (evaporator) and the discharge line that goes from the compressor to the condenser is suspect. The hoses cost about $120, the discharge/recharge cost about $100 and they want $140 for labor. Does this sound right or should I consider doing it myself?

Jack, if you don't want to do it yourself, I know a guy.

What is the guys name and where is he located? Just in case.

 

[JL Rockies]

He works with me here, I'll give you details tonight.

Were you able to get this done yet?

Did not hear from Joseph so had it done at Big-O in the neighborhood. They replaced all hoses and the evaporator for $320. It looked like I would have had a problem with evac/recharge so farmed it out.

Just talked to my guy who wasnt here on Friday. He said $100 plus the hoses. Sorry.

That would have been a good deal, sorry I missed it. Maybe next time if I live that long.
