Orifice tube

I'm trying to get the ac on my 93 f250 7.3 working. My question is how do you get the orifice tube out? There's some kind of clip holding the 2 line together and I can't get it to release.

You should be able to rent an AC tool set that includes an orifice puller. If the orifice comes out in pieces it gets messy. The kit should have a couple orifice pullers. One looks like a bolt extractor. Don't get rough with it. A small bend in the wrong place and it will never seal.

Charge a Ford orifice system by cycle time.

Once you get the line off, I always used long nose needle nose pliers, but a specific orifice tube puller would be nicer. They're stuck in there pretty good sometimes.
