420A AC evaporator

[Jonnychance]

Anybody got advice on unhooking the AC lines to the evaporator in the engine bay. I gotta take out the heater core and the evaporator is in the way, but there is no room in the engine bay to even get to the lines.

The easiest way is to remove the front bumper.

Oh I see, my mistake. I was thinking of the accumulator. I never had an issue removing that. If you have a stubby ratchet I don't see why you couldn't remove the bolt. Just make sure the system is discharged first.
