i don't understand. i took the panels out and there was the valve. used a couple open end wrenches and a cresent to hold the valve and had it out in about 15 min.
no, not easy to reach up there, but i've had worst jobs..

haven't removed the compressor yet, it looks harder than the expansion valve.

now trying to figure out what oil to use for R134. what weight oil, etc. i bought some PAG 46 but not sure if i should use it.
