Ford Repair: 1995 escort a/c evaporator, air cam, blower unit

Question
the fan and evaporator housing doesn't come apart.

How do you remove the evaporator core to replace it?

Answer
Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.

Disconnect battery ground cable, then discharge A/C system into an approved recovery device.
Using a suitable spring coupling tool, disconnect high-pressure line and accumulator/drier inlet tube from evaporator core at bulkhead. Plug ports to prevent entrance of dirt or moisture.
Remove glove compartment, then remove trim panel below glove compartment.
Disconnect two electrical connectors from resistor assembly, then the electrical connector from the blower motor.
Remove right dash side panel, then right lower dash trim panel and capscrews.
Remove support bar and bolts, then support plate and bolts.
Disconnect cable from recirc/fresh air cam and retaining clip.
Loosen capscrew that secures evaporator to heater clamp, then remove four mounting nuts from evaporator/blower unit.
Remove evaporator/blower unit.

NOTE : If a leaking evaporator core is suspected, leak test the core before removing it from the vehicle. If the core needs to be replaced, replace the evaporator/blower unit as an assembly.


Hope this helps,
Erik
