I got it off the truck, IE the cornwell guy. Since im laid off i try to stay out of that truck.
But if you cant get your hands on it, ill talk to my buddys dad. he does hvac for a living.
Heads up on using the blue wrench if you system is still pressurized, some of the older refrigerents where flammable. Right between the time they switched most cars from R-12 to R-134a. And most of those fittings are aluminum...so it will melt quick...
Speaking of loc-tite, when i worked up in the mines in wyoming they produced a thread locker exclusively for caterpillar, called cat purple. You torqued w/e it was to spec then put the lock tight around the head of the bolt/ and or nut, and it would seep in around the threads. It was for things that had to be exact on torque, they felt that the loctite even being in the threads would throw off the torque, as would paint on the surfaces. If you ever had to take it back apart after cat purple was used, it required a to be blown out by an air-arc Just a interesting tid-bit totally off topic sorry.
Oh edit, try steves wholesale they have all kinds of wierd knic knacks as far as tool and work accesorries goes. believe its on admiral near 44, cant really remember, i cna get there just dont know where it is...
If you still cant get it. ill be up in tulsa, see if i can help.
