A/C Drier removal

[JohnnyFish]

Hey folks, looking for some help so I don't make a big mistake.

I'm about to put a pipe wrench on the fitting on the old A/C drier and twist the drier off like an oil filter. Is that how this works? Can't find a video or explanation anywhere. Obviously the center opening is threaded, but there's no accessible bolt.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

You should be able just to tilt the dryer to one side and remove it. It is only held on by the bolts that secure each line. It doesnt screw on, in other words.

Thanks. That's exactly what I needed to know.

^^^^^^^^ Dang it! I was wanting to see the 'after' pics....from the pipe-wrench method!
