Take off what you have to take off to get to it.

Yep. It wont be a quick easy fix but it can be done. Just look it over and take off the things that you have too. They are very easy to get off. No secrete things to watch for really. Just watch the high pressure line when you take it off. Of youll end up getting sprayed with freon and oil lol.

Yep, bleed the pressure before disconnecting any lines. Technically and legally, you are supposed to have the refrigerant recovered by a licensed person.

You have to replace the dryer and the orifice. Better off having it done by a professional.
