Coils should easily slide out after removing 2 screws that attack each fin to the base.




Now here is method 2 for de-taching the elbows and cleaning the fins, I am demonstrating this one on the other side on both fins. You lay sawzall blade behind the metal and the elbow copper and cut straight down. Both methods in my opinion take the same amount of time, but stay tuned to see how to finish them.



This is the end result of that.




Now go back to the a/c unit and there should be 4 screws holding the piece of metal with the fan on it to the base, unscrew that and remove the fan:





This is what the fan looks like, this particular one the blades are plastic.




The black plastic needs to be removed to get to the screws to remove the fan motor, hitting it with a 10lb sledge is the fastest way in my opinion, heres what it should look like:



Now you can take out the screws holding in the fan, and pull it out. This is what you will get:



Now you will need a nut driver attachment for a drill, or in this picture I used a ratchet because the drill couldn't get close enough to grip the nut. Take out the 3 nuts and lift out the compressor, (careful of oil)



Heres the picture after its off.
