Damaged/bent evaporater fins
Hi Guys,
So the engineers before me use to whack at the fins with a wooden stick to remove ice from the back of the evaps.I know ,i know bunch of dumbasses.My question is i know you can get "combs" i think they are called to str8en them but is there any thing i can use or make up that will do the job as well ???
Thanks

Hi stanthonycold
I used to use a pair of long nose pliers when the fins were torn or folded over, I know it's laborious but often the combs would tear further or crease the fins. Then I would have an arsenal of combs (plastic and metalrods) to finish the job. You could try to make one like a small paint brush with thin rods but for the time involved I think it's best to spend the money and buy several different types of fin combs.

"IF" you decide to straighten them out yourself be sure to wear leather gloves or bring a good first-aid kit.

Wire brush. Start at the straight fins and work your way towards the damage pushing heavily. Rinse and repeat.
