MASTERCOOL 98234 Socket Review

This socket is required if you wish to properly remove the vehicle's AC service connector. Of course you can unclip the old service port with pliers etc. but these ports are usually difficult to reach with such a tool and this connector will ensure you get the job done right.

This attachment probably made the job a lot easier than trying to use a vise or something. I'll never know since I'm ordering this: HIGH side port, 134a, Grand AM - 2000 model, coolant leak.

I used a combination of channel locks with tape wrapped around the teeth (to protect the bushing) and pliers or an adjustable wrench on the valve part.
