Hello everyone!

I am about to redo the A/C in my 2000 civic ex coupe. I'm wondering if the dash has to come off to remove the evaporator housing. There is no mention of having to do this in the service manual, but even with the glovebox assembly removed I don't see a good way to get around the dashboard frame to remove that top bolt on the evaporator housing. And even if I get it off, I don't see how I would get it back on without removing the dash. Am I missing something?

 

Anyone?

 

So nobody here has changed an evaporator? Maybe it has something to do with my "nOOb" status. Oh well, off with the dashboard.

 

you dont need to take the dashboard off. hang on and ill get you the directions from the fsm online.

 

 

Thanks for the reply, but I already have the service manual. It looks good on paper, but when you get under the dash the dashboard frame makes it real hard to get to the nut on the mounting bolt(the one with a torque spec). I just wanted to see if anyone who has done this before could tell me how they got it.
