frozen coupling on air compressor
I'm having problems removing the coupling and hose off my old copressor.Have rebuilt Arnott.
My Indy repair mechanic said if he can't get it off you half to buy new pump.
Can anybody let me know what to do on this.

Search would help you.....
On some cars they are seized; more so in Northern climates. Usually the hose portion will come out but the tees can seize.
If you get the hose out, call Arnott and tell them to send you a spare tee. There are a few different versions so make sure you get the right one.
Even if it breaks you can still make it work. The connectors are just standard PTC fitting (8mm, I think), buy some fittings and hook it up. I broke my tee and just made my own fittings. BTW, your Indy is a moron.

Oh, nevermind. Breakfree won't do the trick?
QCRAZY wants you to make your own fitting from parts at Homedepot. It's all standard stuff.
I think the search is probably still down. QCRAZY wasn't mean on purpose :-)
