A/C CONDENSOR REMOVAL
HEY ALL. I have a 99 Ranger 3.0 and need to remove the A/C condensor. It has a good size leak and I would like to replace it asap due to the fact this summer has been like hell so far.My question is this: If I raise the truck can I drop the condensor down for removal or do I have to lean the radiator back and remove it from the top. Any answers are appreciated!
