Have you ever tried to design/package an HVAC system? Do you understand the complexity of such a system? Also, do you know how much more it would have cost to do it differently?

Being an engineer myself and having done this repair on a 2nd gen myself, I can understand your sentiments, but to call them stupid is a bit harsh. Now if it were impossible, then I would agree. Fact is, while very difficult to do, it is do-able. Had it been something that you needed to do on a regular or known interval, it would have been designed to be easier I am sure.

There is a reason why certain things are hard to do and why they are in the locations that they are!! ;)
