Re: {Chrysler 300} 1962 Expansion Valve

Once you separate those oval shaped sheetmetal "clamshell"halves around where the lines enter the case, you will run into a lot of sticky "dum dum" insulation. Carefully peel all that off and you will see the two line fittings better and reveal the temp sensing tube. It clips to the evaporator suction line unclip and gently pull it all out of there. Use backup wrenches on ALL fittings and cap your lines as soon as you do. Of course please remove all refrigerant first safely and properly by recovering it. Good Luck!

Subject: {Chrysler 300} 1962 Expansion Valve

 

I aim to do restoration work on the Air Conditioning.

I wish to check the Expansion Valve for leaks and/or test it.

How simple or hellacious is it to remove the Expansion Valve from its fiberglass firewall housing?

Thanks!
