Pulling Evaporator Coil off Accumulator & Condenser Lines

RAVC1 · Dec 30, 2006

Yes, I've been blessed this holiday season with the need to replace my compressor and evaporator coil!

EVERYTHING is apart but I cannot get the evaporator coil lines to separate from the accumulator line or the condenser line.

Any suggestions?

Thanks & Happy New Year,

Rick

I picked up these Spring Lock Release Tools
from AutoZone when I did mine.
The connections were a pain and really needed some
jiggling to separate them but they will come apart.
I think the trick is to compress the joint - slide in the tool - then separate.

eddieeddieg,

Thanks for the reference. This is the tool shown in my FSM. Howver, my local Auto Value store referred me to a Lisle Corportation tool:
