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

[Greg Zapf <x86Daddy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having my AC system serviced, and it's becoming the traditional
nightmare.  The evaporator core is solidly stuck to the old
accumulator.  Does anyone have a method to remove the accumulator
without damaging the evaporator core?  The person working on it
stopped trying to saw through the accumulator when he noticed the
evaporator goes inside of it at the area he was going to saw through. 
He was reluctant to heat the fittings, as he was concerned the heat
would get drawn straight into the evaporator and possibly melt the
housing.

If nothing else, does anyone have a short-cut method of getting the
evaporator core replaced...  I've heard terrible things about the time
involved, but I remember seeing someone say they had a method to
remove it in an hour or so once.

Thanks,
--Greg
