The filter-dryer is a tube welded to the passenger side of the condenser.
You just have to unscrew the cap on the tube to remove the old desiccant and install the new.
It would be simple if they'd put the cap facing up.
It's not.
It's facing down and there's no access down there.
So you unbolt the top radiator mounts.
Raise the car and remove the splash guard.
Disconnect the power steering cooler, that for some unfathomable reason runs through the bottom of the condenser.
Disconnect the suction tube, replace seals, cover openings.
Lower the car.
Tilt the radiator back and disconnect the other line, replace seals, cover openings.
Unbolt the condenser from the radiator.
Lift it out.
NOW you can unscrew the cap on the dryer tube and replace the desiccant!
This would piss me off a lot less if I hadn't watched a couple dozen videos where the cap faces up and it's a three minute job.
All of this leads me to believe that I will definitely have to drop the entire cat-back exhaust and the drive shaft to get at the fucking parking brake cable. Never mind that it shouldn't have been possible to unplug that cable from the equalizer from the inside of the car.
