How to take out dash to repair a vaccum leak in A/C?

Question

2001 Pontiac Montana

Answer 1

I had to replace my entire A/C system and started out with a subscription at http://www.alldatadiy.com/. It was $25 for a year of access to repair info much more detailed than anything Chilton's or Haynes provides. For liability reasons those printed manuals give little if any A/C repair info. This online manual gives specific instructions and exploded assembly views right from the factory service manuals - including addendums that cover design changes occurring during that model year. Print them out for reference while you are upside down under the dash. The subscription only applies to your model and year. I will never waste money on those worthless auto store manuals again.

Buy a repair manual that tell. They less than $20. My mom's car is a 2000 model, this past Saturday, I was doing routine maintenance and had her go buy a manual, as she plans on keeping the car, I feel it time I have a manual to be prepared for more Technical Stuff.
If a person is mechanically inclined a manual be the best investment you can make, less than labor one time, also, you can go to the dealer and get a Shop Manual specific to your car only, it expensive, maybe $50-100, but, well worth the money over time. My neighbor, the first thing he does when he buys a vehicle is buy the Shop Manual. When I bought my Harley new in 1983, part of the deal was they give me a shop manual! ;-)
