    Good afternoon folks,

    I have everything else apart for doing an AC service on this vehicle, however getting to the orifice tube does not appear to be obvious. I'm assuming it's in the smaller suction line going from the condensor to the evaporator under the brake booster. Removing the brake booster looks like a real chore; I can barely see the two fastners on the passenger side but the driver's side is completely obscured from view. Has anyone had any luck with this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you,

    Matt

    I haven't done it, so I just pulled up the service manual. It does say to remove the brake booster . I don't know that removing/installing the booster can be done without the special tools, maybe someone else will chime in.

    Thanks for the check, I may have found some more information on removing the brake booster. May not be as bad as I thought. I'm used to working on hardware about 30 years older than this!
