Alex,

Your correct, while some might boast about having done it with the radiator in place, I suspect it would be easier with it out of the way.

An addition to your first post; while our front spring is in a 'relaxed' mode being soaked, pump grease into the four zerks on the spring hangers. They will have swung into a 'new' position for additional grease.

While you are in there it wouldn't hurt to give those spring u-bolts a tug as well.

Give us the results of your next road test ! JB
