Sanden Compressor O-ring/Questions
Ok, so many years ago, I attempted to to repair my a/c system. The system was evacuated at a shop prior to pulling the engine bay apart, and one of the a/c lines replaced. It's been empty, but sealed for a few years. I am just now getting around to properly completing this. I remember that on the compressor, there was a one piece o-ring that sealed where the lines bolt to the top. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for this? I searched online and found nothing. Can I just buy the green o-ring kit and try to find match in there?
I'm also aware I need to to get a new drier during this ordeal also.
Also, I want to see if the compressor clutch still functions. Is there a way to jump a relay or ground something just for a second to see if the compressor will engage? It would save me a lot of problems down the road if I could assess whether the compressor is viable or not. Thanks.

You should be able to get the o-ring you need from any auto parts store, and the a/c compressor clutch can be tested by applying power to the wire on the compressor. I usually just jump the pressure switch connector by the drier receiver to test it.

Someone out there has had to replace these before. Hoping to get an idea of what size I have to find.

yes, you can do it that way but it isn't as easy as it sounds, since o-ring dimensions seem to almost rarely meet the specifications that they list them as. many times i have to order 3 sets, the set i think should work, then one size larger and one smaller.

Now I HAVE had those kind of issues trying to find the upper fuel injector o-rings for FC's, every o-ring I try is the wrong size in one way or another.
