Can any one give me the step by step approach to replacing an expansion valve on a 1998 S70? Thank you

This car does not have an expansion valve but uses an orifice tube instead, it is located in the high side metal line located closest to the right front fender. Why do you think you need one we only change them when we are replacing the accumulator or a major a/c system part. The system must be recovered, opened to replace parts and then evacuated and recharged. If you do not have an a/c machine or vacum pump it may need pro help.
