Re: [DML] Re: Evaporator Core fused to Accumulator... ways out?

[Johnny Sawyer <johnny.sawyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dave, you are so right as I just performed this task with another
member of our club here in AZ.  Next to cleaning a fuel tank, it's one
of the worst jobs to do.  We had to remove most everything from the
driver's right-side knee pad over to the passenger side.  We tried not
to remove the heater core and ended up breaking the lower case for the
evap because of the said screws that can't be seen.

This was a first-time for myself and if I had to do it again (no
thanks) I would have removed the heater core.  Not fun!
