i arched a hole in my manifold hose (while truck was turned off) all freon leaked out of the hose. i made sure ac was off before starting the truck. i took it to a repair shop in town and the replaced the manifold hoses (high and low) and replaced the freon. about a block or 2 after leaving shop there was a squeel ac quit working and compressor was smoking they said clutch was old and seperated. i was told by my dad that it happened because they didnt change the orifis tube (which got contaminated when i arched a hole in the metal hose) could not replacing that filter cause the compressor to freeze up and burn out the clutch? any help will be greatly appreciated
