Trying to replace the aircon receiver/drier on my 2004 2.0 Jtd Scudo van. The two union nuts on two pipes to drier won't budge, even with heat. Any more force will break them. New pipes not available and s/h proving difficult.
Wondered what my options are. The ends of the pipes at the union nuts are aluminium. Is it possible to break/cut the pipes at the nuts and get a hose company to join a short extra bit of ally pipe to end of pipes with new nuts?
Any other options? All advice gratefully received.
It's long pipe 2 and short pipe 3 where they join to drier that's the problem on diagram.
