Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi all

about 3 months ago now, i turned of my gq, and the butterfly clip from the vacumm line of the alternator, pierced the suction line of my A/C, and pissed out all my gas. not, i have finaly gotten around to replacing it now doe to summer aproaching, but when it happened, i had a replacement line ready to go, but the seller, changed their mind, so now i am getting it redone, and a new line made for it, i pulled it off the other day, and there was some dirt inside the thread fitting of the compressor, how do i clean it out, so that it dosent ruin my compressor?

cheers

are you going to gas this up yourself or are you taking it to a shop.
i think you could pull your compressor of turn it upside down and let all the oil drain out of it and see if you can get the dirt out that way and see if any dirt comes out with the oil. or if you are really concerned take to an a/c shop or auto lec and get them to strip it down and clean it. but this might be hard as from memory the arc dont like things being pulled apart and rebuilt.

no, i'll be getting it profewssionaly regassed. and i have a spare sanden 708 pump, the one in the compressor is a 508, will i have any advantage swaping them over?

cheers

not sure what the difference is

the 508 has 5 pistons in it, where as the 708 has 7

it shouldn't have to work as hard i guess so it should be fine.
