removing tight evaporator lines and fitting of new evaporator 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be ksg on  Mon Jul 25 03:24 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello all,

I'm replacing my A/C evaporator and have the dash out, ready to open up the climate unit and put in the new evap.

I have the spring lock tools (the plastic ones) and they seem to compress the springs ok but so far I can't pull the lines apart. I can't seem to get the needed leverage. Anyone have an idea on this? Would it make sense to dismount and pull back the climate box some to help the lines separate?

Also is it hard to get the lines (with new seals) pushed into the new evaporator? Do you sometimes have to bend the evap lines to make the angles right?

Thanks much!
