CLK 320 CDI AC CONDENSER HELP!!!!!

[Remix]

Hello,

I've been trying to remove the two pipes at the bottom of the ac condenser. The pipes will not come apart. I have unscrewed the middle bolt.

Any suggestions?

They should just pull out off the O-Rings but can get pretty well stuck in there, it's normally the bolt that is a sod to get out.

Any other ideas on how I can remove the pipes?

The plate holding the pipes in isnt moving at all, tried greasing too

Apply a little gentle heat?

Just tried again before I was going to pack it up, plate moved a little. Will update in the next 30 min

Okay, thankfully the two pipes came away after all that greasing and hammering. Thank you guys for posting your suggestions.

I am having troubling getting the condenser out, what do I need to remove ?

 

[Trickythemerc]

Either the front bumper or the slam panel. I took the slam panel off when I did mine.

There is a pipe that's on the bottom left of the condenser, inside the hole is a gearbox connector hose. That has to be removed ??

Is your gearbox pipe connected through the condenser ?
