No special tools needed and the radiator does not have to be removed (I've done mine a couple of times). The procedue is rather simple, remove light bar, hood, hood retaining rods. Place cardboard between the fan and radiator. Pull radiator forward and remove fan/pump.

Ah, that's fancy! Having newsletters, insurance, etc. Our BMW clubs consist of mainly online shenanigans/meetups at places to eat. I guess it makes sense with these 80+ year old vehicles!

There are several wire "sets" (available from vendors) that allow the engine to run.
Before you fire it up for the first time..drain the oil, replace the plug, remove the distributor and shaft, pour 1 Qt. oil down dist. shaft hole, install dist., finish filling crankcase with oil.

Thanks! I'll order that mechanics handbook. I feel silly not having one yet.
