Re: [MBZ] GL Expansion valve
I ended up double nutting it and removed the stud and installed on the new one. I do not think I am going to replace the rear one as from what I can tell they never go bad and usually never get replaced anyway. Plus it appears it requires a ton of disassembly to get to it.
