pulled overtime at home after work today:

Started at 8PM and took my sweet time doing this because my housemate keep on coming over and chat so i told him to take pictures until he had enough:



This is the part where the braided compressor extension hose touched the AC line (part 1):

And this is the part where the brass fitting was touching the rubber hose (aka, part 2):

Strangely, I did not see any green AC oil residue at both of those spots. But I found residue here:

At this point, I don't even know where the damage is lol
But the whole job, from start to finish including rerouting the braided hose extension, rinsing the engine bay to wash away the residues (and some dirt), and putting away all the tools to bring back to the shop, and chatting with the housemate, took about 1.5 hours.
Tomorrow going to bring the truck to the shop next to ours to get the R1234YF charged.
