Question leaking high pressure valve

Hi...

First off it's a 1990 k2500 350 tbi auto....

Last summer I followed this and got my A/C up and running... Well overnight anyway... Turned out to be I still had a leaking high pressure valve. So I got a new one and was unable to install because the local parts house could not get me the tool needed to remove the old one.. They sold me a tire tool and it is much to small...

Anyone know where I can get the right tool????

Thanks...

My mechanic used a pair of Vise-Grips on my Suburban.

I got mine off the Matco tool truck; http://www.matcotools.com/catalog/pr...-REMOVER-INST/

There's one here; Amazon.com: Interdynamics VT-2 Large Size Air... Amazon.com: Interdynamics VT-2 Large Size Air...
I find it stupid your local parts store didn't have one, I see them in mine but the tool truck came to me.....

Re: leaking high pressure valve

Ok I went back to the parts house and made a stink.. Guess what when they got off their buts they found one out back.....

So as of now I have a/c again and with all new O rings and high and low pressure valves. Hopefully it wont leak...

Thanks!!
