I was facing the horrible and expensive task of replacing my evaporator core due to it being frozen to the accumulator (corroded nut). I shot it about twice a day over the course of a week with PB Blaster (penetrating oil) and it came off with relative ease after that. I didn't try to remove the nut during that week, so I don't know how much of my soaking efforts were overkill... but I'd just recommend giving it more time to soak. --Greg #2894 On 7/4/05, Bernie <bmanderville@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, decided to dive in and start tinkering with the car this > morning.
