Replying to an old post. I, too had trouble with my orifice tube stuck in the pipe. I drilled it out, but with it, a hole through through the avaporator tube as well! I just ordered a new evaporator. Can anyone piont me to some good step by step instructions for replacing the evaporator? I got eight of the eleven casing screws out. Any tips in dropping the evaporator out?
