Yes that's one way, but there's apparently also a Nissan kit for the dealership to do it without lifting the frame. That's what I'm curious about. Tech has referred to it in posts before...can't seem to find them or I'd refer back to it.pandarturo88 wrote:I'f you're talking about what I think you're talking about it's a big job, fro my understanding they have to life the whole frame off of the body in order to change out those lines due to the location of them. If you do a forum search, you should be able to find some posts regarding them, most people just cap them off.
how long in terms of how many days in the shop to repair it?ShipFixer wrote:Curious to know if anyone (particularly Tech) knows about how long this would take...
After looking @ the link I posted, can't believe Nissan initially said the whole body has to be lifted off the frame.pandarturo88 wrote:I'f you're talking about what I think you're talking about it's a big job, fro my understanding they have to life the whole frame off of the body in order to change out those lines due to the location of them.

What is this "cap them off" you speak of? It's my rear heater lines that are leaking, and I'd like to cap them off, I'm sure the process is the same for either A/C or heater lines, they are the same material, just different diameter.pandarturo88 wrote:I'f you're talking about what I think you're talking about it's a big job, fro my understanding they have to life the whole frame off of the body in order to change out those lines due to the location of them.

Yeah, but if it takes just as much time to cut the line and put in a piece of heater hose and clamps as it does to cap the lines off, why not just fix it so the heat does work?nutbar78 wrote:As far as rear a/c I can see the appeal in fixing the leak. But as far as rear heat goes....ehhh, the rear passengers can freeze!smj999smj wrote:Since they are only coolant lines, why not just cut the area and use a piece of heater hose and clamps to fix it, rather than "cap off" the lines?
