2008 Explorer 4.0L AC condenser removal

I probably need to replace the AC condenser and AC compressor in my 08 v6 explorer. The orifice tube keeps getting clogged with what I think is “Black Death”. I have replaced the orifice tube 2 times now and each time it was clogged.

I am having a hard time finding instructions or videos on removing and replacing the condenser on this model year.

Would I be able to just remove the fan shroud, remove the bolts that hold the radiator in, push back the radiator and then remove the condenser? Or will I need to remove the fan clutch, blade and radiator completely to remove the condenser?


Any advice will be helpful! Thanks in advance.
