The sensor that is circled in red is your low pressure sensor. It just unscrews, it is all plastic so take it easy on it when putting on the new. I found out the hard way... lol Really anytime you open up your a/c system you should replace the accumulator/ dryer. If you don't have the vacuum pump, gauges and nitrogen you shouldn't be working on it. You got to have a full set of gauges to see what is going on with your system, the nitrogen to test for leaks and a vacuum pump to evacuate the air and moisture in the lines so you don't ruin your new components.
