A/C Receiver Drier replacement

My 96 Explorer has a leak in the a/c receiver drier. It looks easy enough to replace, unclamp hoses, out with old, in with new, reattach hoses. With my luck, I know it wont be that easy though. Has anyone ever replaced one? Any help is appreciated.....

Yes, it is fairly easy to replace. AC is inder perssure, make sure the AC system is totally empty. You may need to add 1 to 2 ounces of referigant oil to the dryer before you install. Make sure you use the correct type of referigant oil for your system. After the new one is installed take it to a shop and have the sytem evacuated and recharged.
