A/C orface tube and dryer

I’m not sure where the dryer is located on the late model cars. Maybe somebody in the know will chime in.

Yes I saw the expansion valve, I didn't notice a bolt(s) allowing removal from the firewall side. The dryer is not in the usual locations up by the condenser, I lose sight of the low side line behind the drivers front wheel well from inside the engine compartment. I will have to get under it and see if it gives me a view of what I can't see from above, it may be hiding back there somewhere. But if anyone knows for sure, would appreciate letting me know. Thx..Wolf.

After a long search I found this on another thread, but it was regarding a 2005, I will look to see if its the same on a 07. Never seen a AC dryer like this.
The dryer is a bit of a head scratcher and it's just a fabric desiccant bag. Look on the passenger side of the A/C condenser and you will see a small black metal cylinder. At the bottom of this cylinder there is a large hex plug. Remove the hex plug and the bag can be pulled out with needle nose pliers. Then just slide the new bag in and recap. The difficulty is getting to underside of that cylinder!
