You will need to have a factory service manual to do this, no way around this if you want to do it in less than a week. You need to remove the entire dash and cut open the heater box, it is a real pita. You can download one here. Are you sure the evaporator is the cause, make sure of this because it is a part that rarely fails. I have done 3 in 35 years

How to replace evaporator ?

On what? Front or rear? You will have to evacuate the AC system using a recovery machine. Most evaporator cores are labor intensive involving the entire dash assembly of the vehicle to be removed for access/replacement. Not a job for anyone who does not have mechanical experience in Ac repairs

Replace evaporator coil lincoln aviator

I hate to tell you this but you need to have an accredited shop do the work on that it is very complicated if that is actually the problem there's a valve on the outside that usually plugs up and it is replaceable valve I would take it to an air-conditioning shop have them give you an estimate it's very expensive because the dash does have to be removed in most cases
Hope this helps

Replace evaporator

ew. You chose an expensive car to have this to happen to.

Well, the evaporator is located behind the console and dashboard, and requires a complete disassembly of the dash board area.

It's possible for one technician to do it, but the last time I saw one done was at my local a/c garage. They were working on the city's vehicle, and it was a Dodge Dakota, late model.

It had the same problem as yours, a leaky evaporator.

They had about 30 hours into it at $50 per hour. The evaporator
was cheap, but the labor to change it is not.

Good luck on this one.
