[QUOTE="2busy, post: 4069083, member: 12213"] My plan is to try and unsolder it from the suction line so I can go ahead and complete the break. Then put a section of tubing (coupling) over it so solder doesn't plug the capillary tube. Plus it gives me a little extra heat sink to prevent burning through. With such thin tubing there isn't much room for error. Laying on the floor isn't going to help matters with limited movement. I've got it blocked up in the back leaning forward to give me a little more sight picture. I've ordered copper tubes in various diameters and some silver solder wire. I wish I had some dry nitrogen to run through the system while soldering. Prevents the oxidizing inside. That's standard procedure in HVAC when soldering on tubing. Prevents the black flakey crap inside the lines. [/QUOTE]
