   RW> True on most cars these days. An exception to that would be my 56 Chevy,

   Some designs keep repairs and mechanics in mind, and some don't.     
      
   I'm just happy that when I go to replace my fuel pump, I don't have to drop   
   the tank.  GM got smart and put the access area in the trunk behind the rear   
   seats.

   Just plugging a can of R134a on the system sometimes doesn't go on just right.   
   When that happens you have r134a shooting out all over the place.  That   
   happened to me on more than one occasion.  Mostly due to trying to charge the   
   system when the car was hot and burning my arm on the heater core hose when   
   trying to connect the can.
