DIY Request: AC Amplifier Replacement

I see. Thanks for the reply.

Is it much harder to change the evaporator? How much would a mechanic charge to replace it?

The evaporator requires removing the entire dash and the support structure under it to then remove the airbox and disconnecting the evaporator and recovering the Freon. From there it needs to be opened to remove the evaporator. Labor would be somewhere between 4 and 8 hours.

You would want a reputable Toyota dealership do the replacement and be sure that they have done them already successfully because several folks who have had it done have said that their dash has never been the same since.
