I've pulled the glove box and blower motor, but is it possible to access it without pulling the dash and evaporator? I don't have any reason to suspect the evaporator and would rather leave it be.
I've searched around and haven't found an answer on how to get to the expansion valve. Only time it's mentioned is when doing the evaporator core.
Any suggestions before taking everything apart?
Thanks in advance.

Going from memory and the service manual, pretty sure the entire assembly comes out before removing the expansion valve.
That said, if you're replacing the expansion valve you might as well replace the evaporator core at the same time unless you find a hack that gets you enough clearance to remove the air conditioning tubes attached to the expansion valve to free it up.
