Unfortuantly you can't get to it through the top since the relay tray hides
under the glove box. It's a reach around the back/side and is a real pain
in the butt as there is very little space. I think the big service book
states to remove the whole assembly for service. That's nuts since it
means discharging the AC system.

I service what I can reach and live with the rest. :/

As for breaking your back working under the dash, try this.
Get a piece of 1/2" plywood about 1' wide and 3' long. Sit
it on the door sill then lay down on top of it. that gives
your back a rest.
