With the wealth of knowledge of this board I figure someone will be able to answer this.

I have a 2000 Chevy Suburban with the air/heat to rear of the cabin. The high pressure air cond. hose to the unit failed, has a hole around the rear wheel well. Priced the part at almost 500.00 and the dealer wants another 600.00 to replace it. This pipe attaches to the compressor under the hood and travels along the underneath to the rear unit, it is almost 7 feet long.

The question, if I remove the pipe is there a repair connector that can be used to fix it? Thinking about an A-LOK type connector. Figured I would cut the almuminum pipe at the hole and use this type of union. Would it hold? Is this the correct approach?

To replace it, the removal of wheels, wheel wells, running board, and various brackets is required.

It is a great design by GM, having that pipe exposed in the rear wheel well isn't it?

Thanks in advance for your comments.
