1998 Ford Contour Brake Line & AC Connector Repair -Fixing it Forward

Опубликовано 16 октября 2015, 10:23

Here is the second installment of the 1998 Ford Contour Fixing it Forward project. In this video I repair the AC connector going to the compressor clutch. In addition I diagnose a bad blower motor. I also repair the rusted brake line that was leaking. I do NOT recommend the use of compression fittings on replacement brake lines. This is why I used a double union flare. It would have been nice if my Harbor Freight flare tool was able to do the job, but instead I got a good workout for my pecks with the Eastwood tool. I wish they made a more portable version of it.

Anyway, I hope this video provides some enlightenment as well as entertainment.
