Shouldn't have an expansion valve. There should be an orifice tobe in the refrigeration line before it enters evaporator usually near firewall. Just my opinion.

You need to discharge the AC system and remove the evaporator to replace the
expansion valve. No two way about it.
No need to remove the dash
SOURCE: need to find the location for expansion valve on
expansion valve is located inside evaporator box behinde glove box you will need to evac system and recharge if going to replcace...this job is not for the first time mechanic
SOURCE: replace expansion valve
Hi Tresap,
The only expansion valve that I can think of that you may like to replace is on the air conditioning unit....This valve is found usualy mounted onto the AC unit....You'll have to remove the dash board and centre consul....This is qute a job....You should then see the expantion valve on the cabin side of the AC housing....where the pipes go thru into the engine compartment....NOW HOLD EVERYTHING.....before you can remove the valve you need to depressurize the AC unit....That should be done by an expert....The gas is dangerous and you must wear safety googles at ALL times....Once you have removed the valve, you must seal the system so that as little moisture as possible enters the system....If it is left open, you'll have to replace the dryer unit too....when you've finished your replacement, assembly is the opposite as disassembly.....You'll then need to have the system recharged....Don't try to engage it until that has been done....It wont work even if you tried ,as there are pressur switches which will inhibit the opperation....If you have had practice, it will take about three quarters of a day......if not, three or four days
Hope that this helps you
Best regards Johngee10
