Default Re: Complexity of working on front spring U-bolts

Sounds like a plan!

Re "Radiator comes off by removing 2 bolts"
There is more to taking the radiator off then removing two bolts. Take the hood off after removing the rear retainer, loosen the two rods, pull the hoses then if you don't remove the shell first, fighting your way around it to those two bolts and hope the cotter pins are where you can reach them. Also the head light/horn wiring and conduits need to come out. Then don't forget a piece of card board between the water pump nut and radiator so you don't put a dent in the radiator. I take the shell off because it is just easier to get to the mounting bolts.

While over all it doesn't take long, there is more to it then the 2 bolts.
