Got the A/C EXPANSION VALVE how the hell do I replace it?

Anyone got the HVAC section of the g1tl manual? I have the table of contents for that section but not the section ... looks like it's under the dash and about as hard to get to as possible ...

I have that section from earlier online manual download. PM your email address and I'll email it to you. It's not terrible, but no walk in the park either.

Why are you replacing the expansion valve? Do you have good pump action w/ no restriction from expansion valve?

good luck

Has your refrigerant been properly purged? Do you also have the receiver/dryer? (it *should* be replaced any time the system is opened.)

You know after you replace it you still need the system professionally recharged?

has been vac'd and recharged, and I dont have a dryer, shit. Dude didnt charge for the vac/fill since it didnt work - high pressure on one side and low on the other, works super well when it's nice out but when it's hot (it's been like 108) shit blows hot

ballpark price on the dryer part?
