I haven't done it yet. I have to replace the compressor still. I got killed this season on the A/C, both the compressor and evaporator had decent sized leaks. I'm most likely going to let a shop do the receiver/dryer because it can't be exposed to regular air very long or you'll ruin the receiver/dryer. And the system has to be put on a vacuum immediatley after you open the system and install the new receiver/dryer. So I'll have them put the receiver/dryer in and properly vacuum and recharge the system. It's funny though, the receiver/dryer is probably the easiest part of the A/C system to replace and I'm paying someone to do it!! But after doing all this work I would hate to ruin the new compressor or evaporator because the receiver/dryer wasn't doing its job properly.
