Default Calling all techs, a/c question

I need to replace this a/c line. Don't wanna take off the bumper to find out I need a special tool or something. Can it be removed with just line a line wrench or regular open end? Thanks


Oh and the link was just for reference, I'm not buying a/c lines off ebay.

No you don't need any special tools to replace any a/c lines. Just remember to NOT put any lube of any kind on the O-rings when installing the new line. That and of course evacuate the system before working on the system.

and then put it under a vacuum before recharging.

Flare wrenches are always recommended when working on any kind of line, but I believe one end of that line requires a hex bit.
