Seen a few people say that its hard to get the slip tube on, but if you put the little tube in the freezer it slips on like a hot knife through butter... Just thought Ide throw that out there for anyone about to take on the daunting task of a longtube install Any other tips may help out some people take less time doing them, so post away if you've got any!

 

thats a good idea! wish i would've thought of that when i was doing mine

 

my jet hot lt's slid in perfect without any tricks

 

The old freezer trick, eh?

Seriously, that's a good one. Thanks, as I'm about to do a set of LTs.

 

yeah, thast an old trick for fitting pressed fit or tight parts.. I spray c02 or freon sometimes to cool things off.. works like a charm

 

Well FINE Mr. Fancy!!


Yeah Its pretty simple but it may not even cross most peoples minds.

 

lol. I do a lot of AC work at the shop I work at so we always have some on hand... and no freezer

 

Anyone got any others. I cant remember anything else that wasnt strait forward at the moment, if not then heres for anyone who can use it...

 

When I installed mine the #1 primary tube was in my garage and it was December, so it was already cold enough. Then, I just borrowed my wifes hairdryer (she was at work ) and placed it in the collector underneath. The hairdryer heated up the header so that it was hot to the touch, then I slid the tube in.

Worked flawlessly, except I forgot to bring the hairdryer in until after my wife got home from work.

 

i have this really big hammer.

a few good whaks, slips right in
