    <p>You'll pinch the ribbon cable, get really pissed and have to take
      it off the wall anyway.  I just deal with the tight AC
      connections, the DC main lugs that should not be torqued over 7
      ft-lbs, and take it off the wall.  Every time. I also now go ahead
      and do the control board, and the AC board if the clear covered
      relays are getting hard to see through from soot on the inside.  
      I just don't have time any more to run out 3 times in 6 months
      fixing an old Outback system. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Its really like replacing the timing belt on a car and not
      replacing the water pump at the same time.  A year from now,
      you'll wish you did.<br>
