Steve -

Lotta greasy work, that! BTDT. Yes, there is an 0-ring in there. BTW the hose over the block into the cabin is low pressure, coming from the evaporator. The radiator-looking thing in front of the "real" radiator is the condensor, and it's in the high pressure side.

You may have to buy a refrigeration wrench for that connection, and it may be an English size rather than metric. As I recall, I found some of the a/c sizes in my 1983 and 1984 240 to be English.

In case you haven't seen one, a refrigeration wrench looks like a box-end wrench but the box is not a closed circle. It has a cut out so it can go on over the tubing, and it is expecilly forged and hardened steel. Not inexpensive, but sometimes indespensable. I have one for brake caliper work, too.

Good Luck,
Bob
