My 1984 Cavalier has AC hoses with crimp fittings that look like this:
I'd like to replace these hoses with newer barrier hoses. No pre-assembled hoses are available for this car.
Can I just cut the crimps off and re-crimp barrier hose to the fittings, or will I need to prepare the fittings by sanding the barbs so that they won't damage the liner on the barrier hose?
By the way, it's been sitting parked for about 12 years and the AC still has some pressure in it. Not enough to work, but enough to get a little psst when the schrader valve is pushed.
