1996 850 NA Air Conditioner Not Working

Speckle is just spray from somwhere - if it leaked out of the accumulator it probably sprayed onto other stuff.

You can try rinsing it with a hose, but you will see it under UV - gotta love fluorescence , man.

It is clear that the dryer on this car is shot, and I want to install a new/used one.
Thought it would be a simple job, BUT it seems to be very difficult to get to. The
last post in this thread outlines what needs to be done:

I'm thinking that if I pop off the quick release hose and remove the other hose at
the compressor, then it will be easier to get the big hose off out of the car. Or is
it difficult to get the fitting back into the compressor?

Better thread or video on how to do this?

That's how I did it Pete.

It also helps to lower the dryer and access from below

Thanks for the tips, I'm going to let this go until Fall or Spring, need to get the
car back to him.
