2015 Impala LTZ 2.5 L. Replace expansion valve. I recently replaced the AC compressor and when I went to replace the expansion valve. There are some brake lines or what appear to be brake lines, tubing anyway. That inhibits you from removing the expansion valve. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Rip

 

Duplicates merged.

 

Sounds like the ABS Brake Module with rising loops of hard hose. Don't disconnect or meddle with it. If air gets in then it's a big whole deal to purge and bleed the ABS Block plus the master cylinder and all brake lines and calipers.

 

It’s not possible to remove the expansion valve without getting the brake lines out of the way. I understand not wanting to disconnect them getting air in the line. But there must be a way to replace the expansion valve without opening up the brake system.

 

Can you unfasten the ABS Module and move it enough?

 

I haven’t tried yet but I think that’s the only option. Will follow up
