Default Re: New here

Tommy, I suspect that you would like to return the car to it's original stance with stock springs and wheels. You'll get lots of support here if that's your goal.

The radiator removal begins with removing the side panels. A very visible wingnut at halfway, an oval head screw at top rear, and a square head nut at the radiator side panel will release the side panel, but care must be taken in removal to protect paint.

Then drain the radiator and remove the hose clamps. The hoses can remain for now.

Next, a corrugated cardboard is secured to the inside of the radiator to protect the fins on removal.

Then, the two spring loaded screws at the bottom of the radiator.

Now remove the lower hoses, as the radiator will now move to help the task.

Upper hoses off.

Last, remove the two radiator support rods at the top.

With helping hands available and without overhead obstacles, lift the radiator up and out.

If you have nobody to help, my son lives close to you and would be glad to help. PM me for his contact info.
