Re: Still working on HVAC
Having the unit out of it's mounts, I moved an electrical connector that was attached to the underside of the steering column, togeter with attached cables, out of the way (zip-tied), gaining somewhat good access to the programmer (metal knee plate removed).
The big problem is obviously the push-on nut (washer?) on the vacuum connector. I was probably laying on the floor of the Z for at least a couple hours before I got it out. Managed to jam it in a way that gave a bit more access, and used a small flat screwdriver (2-3mm wide) that would fit between the hoses, and under this washer, prying one of the sides up a bit. With a slight gap between the washer and the connector I was able to grab it straight over the top with a needle nose plier, and after a hundred attempts and sore arms, it pretty much just broke off.
I've seen some have been able to rotate it, and screw it off like a nut, but mine was reluctant to do so.
This 91 programmer you have laying around, is that something you would consider to sell?
