cam removal ?

Is there a trick to the condensor I should know about? Can you move it aside or do I remove it?

There is a bolt on the passenger side fraimrail. Unlbolt it and you will be able to swivel the AC condensor out of the way. The bolt is holding some hard lines down and when you remove it they are free to move.
