Replacing the Evaporator--98 Ford Taurus

I could sure use some help with this one.



I pulled the dashboard out and have a clear view of the Evaporator Housing. Now I'm stuck, how do I get the evaporator out of the housing. It appears to be in two pieces (top and bottom) and I pulled all the screws. The housing doesn't separate. Do I need to disconnect the evaporator under the hood next? Do I also have to remove the heater core? If these things are necessary, what do I do after I have the disconnections done?



Man y thanks for any help you guys are willing to offer.

If you were removing a kitchen sink, do you think you'd need to disconnect the plumbing first?

  1. Remove A/C evaporator housing.

  1. Remove foam seals from evaporator core tubes.

  2. Remove four screws retaining A/C electronic blend door actuator housing and remove A/C electronic blend door actuator from A/C air temperature control door.

  1. Remove metal cover then disengage spring from heater core cover and remove spring from lever. Do NOT attempt to bend any part of the lever; it is brittle and will break.

  2. Gently depress locking ramp and remove lever from secondary A/C air temperature control door end.

  1. Rotate primary A/C air temperature control door shaft down, then swing metal link and remove from pin.

  2. Remove retaining screws from around flange joint of A/C evaporator housing.

  1. With side cutters (or equivalent), cut all snap loops around flange joint of A/C evaporator housing.

  2. Remove upper evaporator housing case from lower evaporator case housing.

  1. Remove A/C evaporator core from lower evaporator case housing.
