You have to disengage the hood prop rods to tilt the radiator forward. You trust that situation to hold the hood while tillting the radiator forward?

I just dont understand how people can claim to not move the radiator and still take the pump out. I have 5/8" max, between the pump shaft and the radiator, the pump has to move forward 2 1/2" to clear the head. I realize you get some angle help, but not 2 1/2".
