What is the purpose and how to replace a plugged fixed orifice tube in an air conditioning system on Mercury Grand Marquis?

Restriction of the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator core is done by the fixed orifice tube assembly. The evaporator temperature is controlled by a pressure-operated electric switch. In cases where high pressure is extremely high and the low pressure is nearly a vacuum, then the fixed orifice tube is blocked and it needs to be replaced. To take it out, disconnect the liquid line connection, lubricate the O-rings, use a special tool to extract the tube, and cap an open line.
