Where is the expansion vale located on a 1995 Toyota Camry? And what would I need to take off to get to it?

Evaporator has to come out first and the a/c charge hs to be recycled
Remove two black screws holding wiring harness to blower fan and additional white connector. Remove three brass screws holding blower motor to housing, remove blower motor and wheel. Remove ECU and three gray connectors after removing small black box which blocks access to lower bracket nuts and top two brass screws. Next is the blower motor housing. Remove lower brass nut located at inside firewall, Screw just above a/c lines coming thru firewall; screw towards front housing to access panel. Remove tow duct pieces running lateral to upper glove box frame to get last screw. Disconnect blue cable. Lower entire assemble. Remove two nuts holding A/C Lines to firewall. Slide out evaporator with A/C Lines
then unbolt expansion valve and reinstall

Need help or step by step pictures on how to pull out fan blower motor housing and evaporator. I got blower motor out and still having problems and brass screws off housing, but something is still holding it at back near firewall. To tight to see what is holding it. A little confused on previous post. Thank you.

We don't have pics other than what I sent. The instructions are form mechanics that have done this the fastest way. Yu are just removing thelower case of the hvac unit. Check to seeif you have removed the black box that holds part or itto get toe the screws.

Remove the glove box it's probably around that. I can't see it and we don't have any pics of it. Yours may not have it or it's one of the three boxes in the pic here.

Is that the black box to get the expansion valve or do I need to take box off to get to evaporator?

Reread the instruction I sent on first reply it's so you can remove the screws to get the evaporator out so you can replace the expansion valve. I have no further comments or suggestions.
