Dumb AC Evaporator core question
I've been having issues with my AC for the past 8 months. It used to always blow freezing cold air. It eventually started getting warmer and warmer. I took it in to have refrigerant put in bya friend who knew what he was doing and had all the tools to make sure it was charged . After about 2 months it started blowing hot air again. Refilled it with refrigerant with sealer and everything was good for about 3 weeks. Decided to have my mechanic check it out, explained everything and we put in refrigerant with UV dye to check for leaks. Put it in and ran the system, grabbed a black light and started checking all the visible connections. Couldn't find a single leak. He told me it could be the evaporator. So today I took apart my glove compartment and managed to get to the evaporator without breaking anything. Only problem I can't figure out how to get the evaporator out. I took out the screw that holds the suction line and receiver line bracket to the firewall but I don't know how to disconnect the lines.

I'm not one to get into the BS - sorry that I'm stupid and just try to help.
So you removed the "bolt" under the hood that holds the two line to the evap - are you having issues getting those lines off the evap or something else?
