Has anyone ever change one on a SC300 before? If so can you please email me and let me know what all has to be removed to get to the evaporator PLEASE........do the whole dash need to come out of the car or can I get to it from the right side? do the center console need to come out as well?

I'm no expert, but I'll pass along what I was told:
The evaporator and the expansion valve are both near each other, and require some dash dissasembly. If you're having the evaporator replaced, they may want to do the expansion valve at the same time. It's not a big $$ part.

evaporator
I changed my evaporator this pass weekend on my SC300 so if anyone out there need to know just what needs to be removed to install the new evaporator just email me and I will be happy to help you out. The whole job took me four hours to do........the dealer said it was a eight hour job at the cost of $800.00.......now I have $800.00 in my pocket and the air in my SC300 is ice cold.
