AC - Cruisair Evaparator Replacement

[antiqua]

Has anyone replaced their evaparators. Mine are the orginal --1971-- They say they 2 leak freon-at the flare fittings- Can they be fixed or should they be replaced...
Also have one bad compressor, and a 5 year New Cruisair unit.

Thanks, Ken

If leaking at the fitting, why not just tighten it up. of leak is a crack or corroded tube then replace the unit.

if you do not have flair wrench , can buy a set at auto parts store. also if there is room on the supply tube then it can be cut off and re flaired and re installed to the unit.

There is a special sealant that you can use on the flare fittings. The rest can be soldered providing its not in an exchanger core. My evaps are 1973 vintage and working fine.
