So now I have to replace the whole hose assembly. How far have you gotten with repairing yours.

i start pulling tomorrow...my belt broke (it was also heavily ed which i couldn't see under normal inspection)
i'll probably pull the dryer and the compressor tomorrow...i ordered parts and they will be here monday... i ordered an expansion valve, but a new one was put on right before i bought the car last year. So i am not sure if i will replace it.
my compressor stopped working a few weeks ago, but the pulley still turned...in hindsight, I think bearings were going bad because under some circumstances you could hear the bad bearings... for all i know the internals on the compressor might still be ok. it will just be a door stop now.
i started the car up and drove a mile home from work the other night....i couldn't believe how quiet the engine was with no belt.. LOL
