    Possible to repair this? Ac lines damaged

    All,

    I have damaged my AC lines, unfortunately car run over flexible lines which has cracked the hard lines. I have 3 fitting that need repairing see attached. The male part that goes into here has an O ring that makes the seal. Can I just drill out the stub that is left and braze a new piece of pipe on? Once I have the fitting it can then be brazed to what is left?

    As long as you're a boss at brazing I don't see why not

      Is that a new one or an old one? While you have it out, you might as well just swap it with an undamaged one or a new one. I happen to have a used working one that doens't leak if you're interested in swapping one out.
