Thanks for the replies. Before tackling the the AC system repair, I picked up this nice set of wrenches from Harbor Freight:



I have wrenches up through 19mm, and these pickup from there and I used about half the set for the various large fittings. Worked well.

I'm really afraid to crank down HARD on these fittings since they are aluminum on the dryer and steel (I think) on the hoses. And the torque specs for those connections are less than 35 lbs:



I think I'll take the plastic caps to HD/Lowes and see if they are metric or SAE.

The first few turns are pretty easy, and then it locks up pretty tight after that. In my experience that means a thread mis-match. Before I crank down too hard on these, I'll check the fittings.

Thanks again for the timely advise. Not sure where I would be without the forum members.
