Just a brief overview of an Evaporator change on a subaru WRX.
Hopefully this video helps anybody who feels intimidated to perform this job. Subaru evaporators are one of the easiest to service since the dash does not need to be pulled off. All you need to do is pull out the glove box, some air control motors, and evaporator cover to access.
This job took me about 1 hour to perform and all you need is a simple metric socket set, socket extensions, and assorted size screw drivers (you will need a short stubby phillips head screw driver for one of the evaporator cover screws).
Expected cost to have a shop do this job for you is 1,200 dollars (parts and labor). If you do it yourself, 140 evaporator + 45 new expansion valve + 20 assorted O-Rings + 120 dollars to have a shop recharge the AC system + 20 Pag 100 compressor oil = $345! Not too bad =)
