Default HOW2->remove orifice tube from aluminum line of '90 Turbo 200 ?

In the process of replacing the a/c compressor, I'm stumped at removing
the orifice tube.

In fact I broke it off inside the aluminum line, attempting to extract it.

Help appreciated,
Courtney

Courtney,
You might try getting a long wood screw and screwing it into the remainder
of the orifice tube body, and then pulling on that to extract it. If you're
a bit leery of that, try www.acsource.com or other ac supply companies - I'm
sure I saw an extractor there.
Make sure you flush the lines really well to remove the debris from the
extraction.
Cheers!
