Does the bumper and the lower cross members have to come out? The FSM is no use, instructions for condenser removal is only in ACC I and it simply does not work.
Interesting that this is the only thread I was able to find by google search regarding how the AC condenser is removed. Condenser removal - have to take out radiator?

"For the record, the condenser does NOT like to come out the front. If you want to keep your condenser in good shape after you remove it, don't try pulling it out the front. I had to do a little bending and scraping to get mine out that way (fortunately for me, I'm tossing it anyway)."
