STICK THAT PUPPY IN THE FREEZER FOR A FEW HOURS---SLAP IT IN FAST WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT, SO IT HAS NO TIME TO EXPAND BACK TO IT'S ORIGINAL SIZE!

I had already put PAG oil on the orifice tube and in tubing before I came to you for advice. I had read on another site about heating the tubing up with a heat gun or torch to remove the old orifice. Is this an option for putting the new one in as long as I don't get the tubing to hot?

I BELIEVE I'D GO WITH A COLD ORIFICE TUBE AND A "TUBE" HEATED WITH A HAIR DRYER.....OR BE REAL CAREFUL WITH A HEAT GUN. THE "TORCH DEAL" MAY MELT YOUR ORIFICE TUBE

THE BIG THING IS SORTA DO IT REAL FAST BEFORE STUFF COOLS OR WARMS UP

I finally got it in. The tubing was distorted i believe from breaking the nuts loose. Had to heat tubing up and run a phillips screwdriver the same diameter as orifice down tube to straighten back out. Went right in once it was straight. Thanks for your help and input
