With a Ford AC Line Disconnect tool, only way

[makemeknowit]

You have to have these special plastic rings that slip around the fitting and slide inside to expand the spring down inside. You can get them at most any auto parts store. They usually come in a pack of assorted sizes.
The cheaper ones at the stores don't have the long handle part like in these pics, it will just be a plastic ring with a gap in it that you slide around the line and shove down inside to release the fitting. I couldn't find a pic of the cheapies.

You can get the tool r a set of them from just about any auto parts store chain, like Checkers, Auto Zone, etc. Usually about $7.

they are still a pain to get off even with the tool. shove the tool in there, and twist the lines back and forth and push in and pull out. push in and shove the tool in more too.
good luck.
in a bind, you can use a pic but its a pain

Don't forget to replace the orings before you snap them back together! Use the green one if your conerting to R134a.

81 pony,
I have this style of fuel/ac disconnect tools made by Lisle:

http://www.lislecorp.com/tool_detail.cfm?detail=570

They work very well and are well made (as are most Lisle tools. I'm not plugging Lisle, I have lots of tools made by lots of manufacturers, I've just found Lisle tools to generally be reasonably priced and well made for use in professional environments).

Be careful with the term 'cheap' as used in this thread. To me me 'cheap' means flimsy or poorly made. Many inexpensive tools are well made, and some expensive ones are poorly made.
