AC Receiver-Drier

For a 2009 LT hatchback, is the receiver-dryer replaceable or does the whole condenser have to be replaced?

Looks like you can buy just the receiver dryer on rockauto for about $15 plus shipping.

I was looking at that but it seems as if the receiver-dryer is brazed onto the condenser and I wasn't sure how to get it off.

The image shows a threaded hole along with two non-threaded holes. Got a pic of your dryer? That would clear this up. I imagine a single bolt clamps the two lines in place, and they're sealed with an o-ring. This is fairly common for A/C components.

My condenser is still in my car so it's kinda hard to tell
