which said you can access it by removing the fender liner. I also saw you obviously can get to it with removing the PS and Washer fluid reservoirs but id like to do the easiest possible method.

if i remove the fender liner do i access it from the top of the engine still? thanks.

I removed mine by loosening the fluid reservoirs.
I have all of that stuff if you need a part. My compressor died and I am A/Cless now.

Man i just removed the PS res and i cant imagine how i can get a wrench in on that furthest nut for the drier after i get the washing fluid res out.

i feel like it might be easier/safer for me to remove the fender liner that way i dont risk damaging the wires going into the washer reservoir and dont have to drain the thing either. i dont even know if it would help to have it out.

my problem is i have a blockage in the system, the orifice tube looked perfect (never replaced AFAIK) so i need to find the blockage and fix it, maybe i can disconnect other lines and isolate the drier and blow in the lines to see if thats the clog, and not something like the condenser... IDK.

i remeber loosening two big hose clamps and then sliding it off.
Good luck on finding the blockage. I have everything sitting in my garage except one line and the compressor.
