- Removing a fixed Air Conditioning AC Orifice tube from a GM car. Using a orifice tube removal tool. Same procedure for 1970s 1980s 1990s Chevrolet Oldsmobile Pontiac Buick Cadillac and many Ford and Mercury cars and trucks!

This is a great video that fully explains the best way to remove and replace an orifice tube. Thank you for doing it!
Best video I've seen on this! Thanks for sharing!!! Crazy I'm doing the same car too
Wow! Not much debris in there! It's a good AC System.
The tool is definitely worth every cent. The Orifice Tool Removal Kit fits several different systems as well. For some reason some manufacturers bury it way down inside so the tool is about the only way to reach it.
Nice video! Someone's going to be real happy when they get their car back!
Thanks
Appreciate the video. I've done a few orifice tubes in the past and you're right, I always went straight to the needle nose pliers. I've spent quite a few hours digging broken tubes out of lines with pics as punishment. Today will be different. lol
Nice demonstration- glad I watched before going gorilla on mine and breaking it off in there.
I used heat gun, let it sit for a few minutes, pulled medium hard, more heat, pulled straight no twist, just constant tension, finally just let go. Happy!
Slower is better.
Nice video. I was curious about that. I need to do my 82 corvette. I am certified but have not worked on something this old (AC). Great knowledge here. Working on these older things will be a lost art before long with the knowledge lost... Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing.
I was about yo twist mine and something said check with others before ya screw it up boy.
Glad I did.
Heat is our friend.
Thanks so much. The heat worked for me!
Excellent; thanks for demonstrating the correct way to do the job. Any monkey can do it wrong.
Great Video Sir, But, I’m more impressed with how original/clean that car looks under the hood. Very nice…
Thanks. I sold that car. Probably too cheaply. I always sell my perfect cars for the ones with issues to resolve, or so it seems. Perfect = boring?
Ye he's seem like everything in order man
Very helpful. Heat gun did the trick. The tool is rentable at the box parts stores.
awesome video, thanks
Well explained, in reading most of reviews, nobody noticed when you initially used the needle nose to show what not to do, you only inserted the top jaw while the bottom jaw was on the outside of the threaded end of the tub, thus damaging the connection or filter if you were actually trying to extract the filter.
thanks for watching so closely, but I doubt any damage was done. attention to detail is important.
I like your disclaimer.
I just did my 1997 F350 and that orifice tube was in there good heated and oiled it.. sweating bullets those O-rings didn’t want to let go just barley got it out!
they get welded in there. keep pulling and heating and oiling
Nice
How much oil do I need to put in Compressor
So go buy the tool if you want. Or not. If you're like me, you've already pulled the accumulator line, so pulling this tube is no biggie. If you break the filament off inside the tube, there's vids on Utube showing how to dig it out. Me, I used needle noses and grabbed the filament further down, and yes, gave it a little twist, and it popped out. But I was at the f**k it point of the day, so I really didn't give two shits if it broke off or not. Replacement filament is under $3
I got the old orifice tube out but can not get the new one in (broke 2 of them already). I even tried putting the old one back in but it won’t go back in either. Yes I am orienting it the right way ie large screen towards high side. It’s a Chev Astro and the crimp is close to the evaporator in the low side line which is different from most I believe. Any ideas how to get the orifice back in?
clean and oil the tube? Maybe heat the tube with a heat gun?
I could not see how you put it in because your hand was blocking the view. What was causing the jerking movements when you were inserting it?
that's just how they go. They jerk in. bad camera angle I know.
Another question: Do new replacement dryer/accumulators come with an oil charge? If so, what type of oil? My system uses mineral oil and it doesn't mix well with PAG.
You usually have to buy the oil
G'Day, is there anyway to remove oil from the compressor without removing the compressor from the car? And what kind of oil are you using or should I use (ester or pag and what weight)_? I have a 86 Caprice.
Thanks
I don't think so. Unless there is a drain? believe PAG oil is universal for R12 and R134a systems.
@@gregs_garage Thanks for the replay.
Neighbor 2010 Ford edge keeps blowing off at the AC line at the connection,happen like 4 times
He has bigger problems
How do you know if they need to be replaced?? Symptoms??
More of a maintenance item whenever you have the system apart. Or if you used and stop leak type stuff and plugged it up
How do you decompress the system before loosening up the connections
Evacuate at a shop, or maybe it’s already empty when you start
Very good, thanks
crack an a/c line and walk away for a little while. make sure you do it outside, but it's really bad for the environment and your health if you breathe it in just an FYI.
@@JoshRD don't do that! please
@@maurojuan5667 It's just ozone depletion 🤷
💯
Didn't look that contaminated? Why did you take it oooot?
3 reasons:
1) I had the system vacuumed out already
2) They cost $2
3) To make a vidya
just like a light bulb in a light bulb socket
Gentlemen Just to let you know and ladies I used a dental pick mine broke inside the dental pick and then a pair of needle nose pliers hope this helps someone out😊 Be sure to buy a can of flush. Is flush out the Evaporator sometimes little pieces of screen comes off. Really, you should flush the whole system. The condenser you may have to buy a new one. They are hard to flush.😊😊😊
A “can of flush”.
@@gregs_garage That's what I wrote.
@@gregs_garage By the way a great video
What the name of that tool?
Um.. A/c Orifice tube removal tool.
OEMTOOLS 27004
Dang so mines upside down dang man 🤯
Does it matter?
@gregs_garage well the needle goes towards the evap letting in what it needs. And the screen go the other way so the freon flow's thru the screens first . But idk. If it matter my pops said he had his the opposite of the way I had mine. But his ac sitting was 60. Mine is 45. So
Loop
You would think some nit wit engineer would have had that part in a tube with threaded couplings on each end.....you could very easily just replace the part...already inside a tube and just thread it in place on both ends....🤔🤔🤔
Lots of automotive stuff is like this. Could be easier

the tool is nice to have, but totally UNNECCESSARY
make a video showing how to do it without the tool.
Why would you say that and not offer other information?
@@yosquidd242 because I changed mine, and my neighbors.. the only tool I needed was a curved pair of needle nose pliers.. but you can use a regular pair of needle nose pliers.. paying the extreme price for this tools is unnecessary... even for a mechanic doing it for a living... but more power to anyone who wants to waste the money
So spending 30 bucks for a tool designed to do the job and save time and 100s is a waste?
@@genroc2005 not all of them come out that easily. You got lucky.
