Replacing A/C condensor rad on 2.0L petrol

[anparkinson]

The A/C on my 2007 2.0 Petrol Accord has stopped working due to a stone through the bottom of the condenser radiator.

How easy is it to change? I guess the coolant radiator has to come out but would like to know exact procedure before I start stripping it down. I can get it re-gassed locally.

Apart from the condenser, what else should I change?

Thanks

Also a good idea to change the receiver dryer unit. Pretty straightforward to do, bumper off and just follow a logical process to remove and refit. I did it on my wife's FRV k20a9 and it wasn't that bad

as above, remove the front bumper, it's easy to do when the bumper is off (no need to remove the coolant radiator as the condenser is in front, held on by two small brackets at the top)

to remove the front bumper, see this diagram (click for full size), bolts A can be sods to get out, make sure that you don't mix up clips C, D, E, F otherwise they can be sods to get back in
