How difficult is to remove the A/C manifold hose? Does anyone have any pictures as to what it looks like? I would like to do it myself but I need to know whether I can do it or does it require special tools? My ex-mechanic in California told me that he can get it rebuilt for about $70 and that's way cheaper than paying $800 to dealer.

I really need your help now.

Thanks, Igor.
