PART# for AC Line Clamp/Coupler

Does anyone know the part # for this clamp/coupler it goes onto the heater core pipe/AC line. I’ve looked all the toyota parts website and can’t find the part. 2008 Toyota Tacoma 4cyl 4x4 Regular Cab

 

Here is what I bought recently for my 2006 V6
AC Clamping Pipe
88718-01180 - Larger Top one - fit tight
88718-01190 - Smaller shorter one - fit kinda lose

 

Side note. Changing this particular ac line right now. Can't figure out how to get this coupler off without breaking it. Any suggestions?

 

Using a good flash light and a pick I got mine off but I chewed them up so bad I replaced them.

I read these clamps were on back order right now....you might want to check that out before you break one like I did.

Good Luck!

 

If you break the locking mechanism of the clamp during removal, you can always reinstall it and then use zip ties or a hose clamp to keep it in place.

 

Thank you both for the prompt responses. I have a tendency to break all things plastic, so I was trying to think before I acted for the first time in my life

In any case I was able to pry and wiggle that sucker till she opened up, then snap her back after replacing the line. Probably mucked it up a little bit but it looks like she'll hold. Might throw a zip tie on just for good measure.
