Re: [DML] Nut size on evap tube connecting to accumulator

[Nick Kemp <nkemp@xxxxxxxx>]

First ... Thanks to everyone that helped.  I have it removed.  YES!

Martin ... I did a frame off frame repair and yes, it is a LOT easier 
without the tub, hosed, tubes and wires to block your every move.  
Putting it back on the first time (many years ago) was a piece if cake.

Removing the fuel pump panel works well ( thanks Chris). There are still 
four hoses in the way.  It is one of those situations where you wrench a 
tiny bit, turn the wrench over, wrench a tiny bit and repeat until it is 
off.

Note to everyone ... I found a lot of metal debris in the screen on the 
metering valve.  Just replacing that should make a big improvement.

As far as flushing the evaporator and cleaning it... that is a mess.  
I'm off to the store for some more hose.

Nick
