    Are you talking about the Air Conditioner Accumulator/Dryer?

    That's tucked away behind the front bumper. you can see a glimpse of it from the bottom. But to replace it you'll need to pull the bumper.

    Hope this helps

    i never pull the bumper, they are easy just 3 10mm bolts and one 12/13mm depending on the year nut holding the two lines on

    Really?

    That would be too easy...But wait I still have the condenser to replace, and that will either be from the back with the rad off or from the front with the grill and thr bumper off.

    Which would be easier?

    I don't know about easy. Anything Air Conditioning gets expensive and time consuming.

    But then again, I have never taken the bumper off. But I will be soon....My A/C is flat and I will be replacing the dryer and condenser before summer.
