I have a bad A/C line. Has anyone replaced the lines before? Trying to figure out how they disconnect, and the easiest way to get at the connection behind the engine on the firewall.

you'll need to remove the passenger side windshield wiper crowl...you can purchase the little plastic ac line disconnect tools for a few bucks from any hardware store...you push them on the line end and it pops off.

Skip to 1:50...the little pieces of plastic work the same way on the ends of the ac lines

keep in mind once you expose your ac system to air it will need to be vaccumed out by a shop before its recharged
