A/C Accumulator

Hi,

I'm new to this, so I hope I'm doing it right!!

I'm trying to replace the A/C accumulator on my 1999 Expedition and cannot remove the connection to the evaporator.

Is a special tool required, or do you cut the pipe and squeeze the inner pipe away from the outer? All I saw was a clip connection, and it looks like the accumulator pipe has 3 o-rings near the end, which is fitted inside the evaporator pipe?

Does anyone know how to remove the accumulator?

Thanks,
Dean

Go to the auto parts store and purchase a set of the A/C disconnect tools.

Around $10 for a set of usable ones.
