Everything mated up fine. Tip: fix leaks before you complete your oil change lol. Completed oil change on Friday. Saturday, I realized I should change these gaskets, got to it today.

Removed and cleaned up the housing to install new gaskets. I went to the dealership to get new gaskets (15825-P8A-A01 and 36172-P8A-A01) on Saturday.

Pulled oil filter housing... gasket was stuck. Tip: recommend disconnecting the 2 plugs prior to unbolting. Took me 15 mins trying to disconnect them while the housing was hanging.

This was the hardest part lmfao... the damn o rings were a struggle to put on. No easy way to get under the dash while the lines are moving. Got 'er done though.

Removed old one. You have to reuse the foam piece and screws. I put never seize on thr bolts and lube the o rings before installation.

Pulled the evaporator out. Have to slightly dance it out while pulling. There was a small slot underneath I put a thin flat head screwdriver to help as well.

Onto the engine bay to get that 10mm bolt that is holding the lines in place. Its a PITA and you need a u joint to get to it. The cruise control was always a issue, but finally got it. Unbolt the brackets holding the High and Low pressure lines so it can move when you pull it off the evaporator.

Blower out and this plastic cover between the evaporator and blower motor. There are quite a bit of self tapping screws that need to be undone to get it out.

The new cables were thicker than the OEM, so I had to do some adjusting.
