Not sure, never had to do it. On the 124, after you pull the blower its right there. On the 126, the blower is under the dash and i dont think the evap is right behind it. Cant think of an easy way to get to it. Luther wrote: How hard is this to do on the 126 SDL? Luther Kaleb C.

I don't see how any significant amount of that could get through unless the screens above the blower are missing. On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 4:10 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dirt, remains of leaves etc. Alex Chamberlain wrote: On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 3:04 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin
