a/c evaporator removal question

[zpd307]

what needs to be done to get the evap out. i am trying to get my a/c fixed with new hoses, accum an orifce tube, but came across the bent and kinked evap line, right below the spring lock......... the crimps on the hoses were greasy, so i had assumed that was where the refrig was leaking from. i dont have to mess with the heater core, do i. it doesnt look like i do.

well, i eventually found every hidden screw/ bolt and got it apart. next question, what is the best stuff to replace the goop that seals the two halves toogether with?

I used single sided foam tape in my case, but really wish I knew where to get the original tar like sealant.

Is the same thing plumbers uses. It's called 'Bear ****'

Local plumbing supply house will have it.
