So I took on the task of trying to rebuild the compressor....before I get into what made me decide to do that with my limited knowledge of mechanics, I figured I'd just try asking: I broke off the larger of the three tubes trying to get her out of the car. So, the first part of the question is: How can I replace or fix that tube the easiest? I'm in the US if that matters. The second thing that happened is that one of the clips for the frame (for the 3 10mm bolts that hold the compressor frame to the vehicle's frame) also broke. Are these called something industry standard? If not, where might I get one of those the easiest? The third and MOST IMPORTANT issue I had was that when trying to remove the broken off piece of tubing inside the compressor, I broke the brass ringed contraption. It's still not out so I have a two part question on this: CAn the rest of the bits be removed and if so, how? AND, can I find a replacement brass fitting for the friction fitment for that hole? If so, what would it be called/size? I'm without the vehicle until I get this sorted so I appreciated any help! I have the compressor rebuilt besides the latter mess-up. Thanks!
