The dryer/accumulator is a freaking pain to replace! Regardless of whether the connections are SAE or metric sized you need a crow's foot wrench or cut/welded equivalent above common (think 1") size. While most anything can be done without a lift your back, neck, patience may tell you that it's necessary for this replacement.

It is easy if you pull it down to the bottom of the fender and loosen the lines there.
