thanks...that's what i will try.... i just have to find my cheap 10mm.... it's hiding somewhere..... ha-ha-ha...

i may also just go out and by some flare wrenches.....

i briefly...oh so briefly entertained the idea of going without a new expansion valve...how stupid....

anyway, tonight, i am going to pull vacuum to make sure the system is tight... i will probably proceed on saturday... i have all the parts.

its definetly 10mm.. i had a wrench on it briefly...but no room to turn... i thought if i could crack it i could undo it by hand... no such luck
