Hi there,Originally Posted by Mark413
Sure, the orifice tube is located inside the condenser to evaporator line (110525) next to the accumulator (behind the passenger wheel).
Here are a couple pictures showing where it is, and a special tool that makes things easier for the job. If you want more details, I have outlined this in my A/C thread, and there are more pictures and comments on page 1 and 2 in the A/C System album on my profile.

It should not matter as long as the o-ring on the orifice tube is sealing inside the pipe. So I would not force it to far and just put the accumulator back on over it.
