Fld120 expansion valve removal

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to get this last nut off on the bottom fitting for the air conditioning expansion valve.

The expansion valve sits on such an angle that you can't get a wrench onto the nut to break it loose.

The cover itself isn't the problem the case itself that holds the evaporator is in the way because of the angle this expansion valve sits.

Any ideas?

 

It's probably hard to tell from the photo but the box that holds the evaporator is literally just about touching that nut. No wrench can fit around it.

 

I'm thinking that I may have to get a razor knife and trim that cover a little bit which I really hate to do.

 

I guess I should start with taking the cover off and see if maybe I can get the whole thing to move.

I did try to pull up on it but I'm always nervous about manhandling things and that type of thing. The last thing I want is to end up with having to buy a new evaporator.

It is possible that someone bent it. Since I have had this truck I have never been into the air conditioning until now so anything is possible.

 

Will do that next.
