Cadillac Repair: 2000 STS, accumulator, plumbing


Question
My wiper fluid container has a hole in the bottom of it.  It drains a full container out in minutes. Can it be removed for replacement without blowing the AC Charge?  If not, please recommend on how to repair.

Thanks

David,
Considering the job pays 1.4 hours, I'm betting you need to discharge/recharge the A/C system. I'm not intimately experienced with this particular job but I CAN tell you that at times, it' IS possible to get around major things like this. You have to look at the accumulator, and see if it's possible to manipulate it and the plumbing out of the way or not, without damaging anything of course.
