can i pull it out without removal the silver can that runs to the a/c? i got the lines pulled, plugged the drain, removed the bolts. but i cant seem to get her out. i got my headlight and front bumper off, but i cant seem to slide it out.

youi should be able to get that out. but dont remove that silver can and be careful if you pull it around. its aluminum and so are the line fittings. its the receiver/dryer for the ac. it collects moisture in the ac system

can i unbolt the lines from the a/c drier w/o getting blinded by freon? i know nothing of a/c systems, looking at gutting mine out tbh.

is your ac full? you want to remove ac?

if so just take everything out and then pull the washer reservoir.

You could take the driver side wheel off then take the fender lining off too, and pull it out from the wheel well. but I think you might have to take the bumper off by going this way.

I've done it this way about 3 times now... you don't even have to take the wheel off but it gives you a lot more space ;

front bumpers is off. fender lining pulled back. the top part wont fit through the hole in the engine bay where the a/c drier mounts to.

is a/c a pain to install? mine doesnt even get that cold, i think it needs charged. i would like to pull it to make the bay look clean, as well as a full size radiator for when i swap. i never even need to use it tbh, 2.5 years and ive turned it on once in this car, and thats when i realized its crappin out.

in what car? i have an ej1, would it differ in a 00 si?

If you want to keep the a/c and not have to reinstall it, you could cut the tank in half across the neck. And pull the top out the engine bay and the bottom out the fender.

I just removed mine this afternoon and was able to get it out without removing that silver can. Just keep messing with it and twisting and turning. It will come out.
