Default my nipple broke!

lol well it did...
my AC wasnt cooling so i thought maybe the system was low on freeon. i went to advanced autoparts and bought one of those recharge kits. when i went to connect it to the nipple it seems that there was a different adaptor already on it that was not compatible with the one i bought so with a pair of pliers i started to unscrew it off but instead of unscrewing the nipple broke off the AC pipe and freeon shot out. now i have a pipe with a small 2-3mm hole in it and a dead AC. any ideas on how i can refit a new nipple?

that sucks get the old nipple out if it brok in or if the whole thing disconnected from the line togo a junk yard and cut the piece off that you need, and get it welded on... make sure it's a good weld. and i hope you have a way to evacuate the a/c system,, because you can't just add the refrigerant(the freeon) the system has to be in a vacuum, if your good in with ur local shop they'll do it cheap, like 20 bux, my mechanic lets me barrow all his tolld when i need them he's lives next to me tho need anymore help with your a/c now or in the future pm me

I seriously doubt that would hold up in a pressurized system.
