[QUOTE="Smokinstang65, post: 16171368, member: 189801"] 8b) So those lower 10mm nuts, the stud they are attached to is loosely screwed into the radiator. I was able to grab onto them with my channel locks on the very tip and unscrew them. Otherwise as you pull the radiator out they want to scratch the condensor. To do so you might have to loosen the brackets on the condensor that mount to them. [ATTACH=full]1564889[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1564890[/ATTACH] 9) Now that the condensor is loose, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses and the upper radiator brackets [ATTACH=full]1564888[/ATTACH] 10) Now you should be able to lift the radiator out the top with a little shimmying from side to side. Throw it in the garbage, toss it aside or hold it over your head and exclaim, "I AM ALL THAT IS MAN!!!" and grunt as the residual fluid drains out upon you!
