Default what needs to happen for the condenser to come out?

I need to chnage the condensor because it leaks but I can't find any instructions on how to remove it. Is it easy... hard?

I've done it on an N/A and you need a couple of crescent wrenches to disconnect the A/C line fittings, but you could probably get by with regular open end wrenches. Loosen the support brackets and it drops right out.

Same on turbo, just hold nuts on unit w/ open end wrench so not to twiat metal, and rops right out. Unluckly for me my air splitter was ripped off from tire tread, so it was that easy, before I had the splitter bolted in such a fasion that the bumper would have had to come off, so I caught a break.

I need to do this. On a stock setup does the bumper have to come off or just the batwing? Cheers.

Just the batwing. After removing the support brackets at the bottom and disconnecting the lines it drops right out.

Sounds like an easy job then. Has anyone used the condensors from www.griffiths.com? they are significantly cheaper than OEM ones and claim to be much better.

Cheers.
