shouldn't be too hard. you are gonna have to remove some parts. just make sure you remember where to put the bolts back. i always take pictures. it helps me remember where to put what and makes for a handy DIY too lol

what cleaner are you using? Seems like more involved than the rest of the cleaners people have used. I can post up the repair manual insturctions on the removal of the evap unit.

these are the directions .
1. Using a suitable lift, raise the vehicle to access the evaporator drain tube.
2. Snugly fit the wedge adapter the end of the dispensing apparatus into the evaporator drain tube.
3. Open cover cap and dispense entire contents of can.
4. Place appropriate catch pan under vehicle and allow approximately 10 minutes for foam to liquefy and drain out

from what i uderstand i can just put it through the drain tube?

yep exactly you dont need to take anything apart. All you need to do is get a jack lift up the car and use the can and spray into the hose. I reach my drain tube no problems when I am doing my oil change.

Default Evaporator drain plug

Does anyone have a picture of the drain plug for a 2001 ES300? I don't get any water out coming out underneath my car after the car sits with the AC running. I would think this means my condensation drain plug is blocked? I can't find the thing when I'm under the car. Thanks much!
