• Q: How to replace the air conditioning evaporator core on 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: A replacement of the air conditioning evaporator core begins with removing the HVAC module assembly as well as all outer seals. Extract the recirculation housing then free the retaining clip of the defroster actuator to proceed with the actuator removal. Drilling the upper screws from the HVAC module assembly case allows you to split the case apart. Extract the evaporator core together with the water core filter after removing the HVAC module assembly seal from the lower module case. The water core filter installation begins by connecting it to the evaporator before applying new side, upper and two lower seals onto the evaporator core. Insert the HVAC module assembly seal into the lower module case before setting the evaporator core inside the lower case. The guide should be aligned before fastening the upper and lower parts of the HVAC module assembly case while utilizing the appropriate fasteners in their correct locations according to specifications. Paints and lubricants together with corrosion inhibitors should never be applied to fasteners since these substances affect clamping force and torque values. Always apply correct tightening sequences together with specifications to minimize any potential damage. The HVAC module assembly procedure ends after installing its upper screws at 1.5 Nm (13 lb in) and reattaching the defroster actuator and recirculation housing with its screws torqued equally before finishing installation.
