Glad the issue was the rear TXV. It's very easy to do but it is a bit of a tight fit. I had to custom grind down a wrench to get it in that area.
FYI for others fixing this, it's easy to cross thread the fittings on the evaporator side. I ran into that problem and mentioned it to the tech filling my system for me. He said it's really easy to cross thread these and a very common problem.

btw, for anybody preparing to do this repair, while removing the interior panel isnt absolutely necessary it does make it easier. dont bother trying to remove the seatbelt bolt without an impact driver or a really long socket driver. in addition, be sure and blow out your linesets with compressed nitrogen after you remove the old TXV and before you install the new one. do not use compressed air as this will put moisture in your system.
