Made a bit of progress this week ... Lost my Saturday to AX school

Took off the rear condenser and flushed it out , resoldered the fan switch.... ...

Removed the front condenser and installed the new one.... Tried to do it without removing the crash bar but it was just too hard to get the bolts back in... I would suggest just removing the bar.. it's pretty simple

The lines were a bit more interesting... I ended up having to partially drop the washer fluid reservoir and cutting one of the old hoses to get the 2 hoses out and back in... Took forever to get the top bolt back in and I gave up getting the clamp back together after like 45 minutes of fighting... Will have to go back to it

One thing I didn't know and I think I messed up .. went to remove the receiver / drier and after loosening the clamps I backed out the screws holding the mounting bracket to the wheel we'll .. didn't realize there were nuts behind there and now I can't remount it . Are those nuts now somewhere I can get to?

The other thing no one tells you is how much dirt falls out when you unmount the hoses.... I did a prewash of my wheel well to try and avoid this and still ended up with dirt everywhere.... What a mess!

Up next I guess is the rear wheel well and installing both the condensers there.

I'm not strictly following the suggested order of operations from Griff, mainly just due to the windows of time I have available...
