Hey guys, first off id like to say my A/C works just fine in my car, when i was doing my single turbo build a friend of mine that was helping me wrench on the twins got alil to close to the A/C line by the firewall & he bent the dang Copper wire that bolts on the A/C line, instead of him tellin me he tried to bend it back and Snap it when....![Crying](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/Peace.gif)
So basically its the copper wire that is connected to the Expansion valve, so i need to replace it, Also since ima replace it my Evaporator has a lil leak so i decided i will replace that aswell while replaced the expansion valve..
Anyway, guy i would jus like to kno if i needed to pull the dash to get to the expansion valve & evaporator or can it be done through the glove box n lower kick panel??
Plz any info is well needed!!!
Thanks, Nate

You dont need to pull the dash. Just the glove box needs to be removed if I remember correctly. It might help if you pull the passenger seat, just so you have room to actually get in the car and work on it.

Removing the dash is very easy just look for the bolt, once you remove the glove box, center console it's straight foward. drop the steering column move the dricer seat back .
i will be swapping my dash with a black one i will take some pics if you like, but it will be in a couple weeks.
no don't sell your car because of the dash!!! come on Call me when you ready to do it i can guide you over the phone .

Yea, i have been through so much with this SC i couldnt jus sell it over A/C, i bought this car 3 years ago completely stock nothing done to it at all so i kno what has been done to it & what hasn't
Also, if i was putting freon in it before & could smell it in the car when i used the A/C, what do u think the problem is? like i said after putting freon in the aA/C worked great jus took about a week & 1/2 to leak out, we did the dye test and we didnt see any leaks in the engine bay, so i assume its the Evaporator.
