Radiator removal

Some time back, I had essentially freed up the radiator from all connections; but I had never gotten around to removing it entirely. Today's the day.



There are four mount points - two bolts from beneath, and then two of these sets of two bolts. The nuts are on the top...


...with the bolt heads beneath. A bit of penetrant on the bottom bolts was in order, and everything came away with a minimum of hassle.

And then it's a matter of sliding the radiator straight up and away.


The bolts on the bottom have rubber grommets on both sides of the attached plate; these, as pretty much 99% of the rubber on this car, are dried up and brittle. A bit of poking with a screwdriver and they break away.
