watch it all the way through.

btw you need to evacuate your A/C and pull the hvac box. don't cut corners and end up breaking A/C lines like I did...

besides you may be surprised to find out how much garbage and dirt is in your evaporator core...

I removed the valve cover to get at the one behind the valve cover.

5 bolts removes the valve cover.

Get a helper and pick up on the dash off from the pivot bolts and get it right out of your way
