What purpose is that larger section of tubing providing, as there is already a strainer/drier (Im assuming thats what it is, before the cap tube on the other side of the compressor.

Because if I can just relocate that larger piece of tubing then I should be good.

Also, does anyone know if Asetek brazed or soldered those connections? I can tell exactly. Looks more like brazing. If its solder I should just be able to heat the joint up and seperate the tubing correct?

BTW thanks Bowman.
