Orfice tube

Average temp in philly has been 95* lately and after a few wasted charges of refrigerant i realized i had a bad condenser. So i changed it and a few other A/C components. But then i asked my self wheres the orfice tube bc its never been change so i know it needs to be done.

Searched for a while for this orfice tube and it had to be under the brake booster or ABS on the driver side bc it simply cant fit in any of the other lines.

Anyone know the simplest way to get the orfice tube out?

Oh ok, so the ABS module is the only thing that had to come up?

Thats the high pressure line so does that whole line have to come out in order to get the orfice tube out?
 
The orifice tube should never need to be replaced unless the compressor shreds itself internally and pushes debris past the condenser.
The only other things that can kill an orifice tube is water contamination as the brass orifice tube corrodes internally. But with the size of the inlet screen/cage it's difficult for debris to clog the tube itself
