I broke the capillary tube coming out of the ac thermostat while taking
apart the dash. I see that it is only a $35 part, but i am wondering
what kind of a job it is going to be to replace. I can't find any
information on it in my manual, on the car i just see the end of it
disapearing into the insulation around one of the ac pipes. If anybody
has any experiance with replacing this I would love to hear from you.
Thanks!

Hose clamp it and the capillary tube from the expansion valve to the
outlet pipe of the evaporator (Low side, larger diameter pipe). Recover
with insulation tape.
