i absolutely would get new hose put on the MB fittings after you measure
and cur off the old hose. I grind or saw the ferrules at an angle, then
peel them off, and pull off the hose.

Has anyone ever had hoses rebuilt by a local hose supplier, such as
Amazon? What did it cost?
I am seriously considering taking all of the hoses off of the 350SDL
and having them rebuilt, but I’m wondering if it’s cost effective to
do so rather than replace with new. And I wonder if new (MB) hoses are
barrier style material, too?
A couple of the hoses are around $100/each my cost from MB. I’ve got
to look at the plumbing on the back of the compressor where there are
hard lines and an accumulator, as one setup has hoses that are a part
of this assembly, another doesn’t. I’m not sure which one I have.
With the youngster heading out of town in a week I’ll be able to
dismantle the AC system on the car without too much pressure to get it
back together, so I can take my time and do this right so it will be
good for years to come.
I just saw a 1997 E320 wagon that looks really nice. I might go look
at it and see if it’s worth picking up. One owner, Florida car, 150k
on the clock. Been trying to sell it for a month without a buyer at
$4500. It will be dropping off CL in another day or two….
