very much so. i had to get line wrench crows feet to do it after trying for three days. I had dye in my system so it was very easy just to look and see it was leaking at the expansion valve. perhaps its possible to sniff the condensation on the ground to see if it comes out positive for refrigerant. it would be worth while to remover the bolster under the steering wheel and check the expansion valve, as it got dye all over the carpet and surrounding area. it seems unlikely that the sniffer would detect refrigerant at the vents if it was only the expansion valve, but stranger things have happened, and as expensive and involved replacing a evaporator is i would check everything before i dove in to that.
