hello,I'LL add this: Use channel locks to remove the temp switch behind
the the lower grill.Use needle nose plyers to remove(dont loose) the clips
that keep the spare tire wires(rods?)in place.Drive the wires out w/a
screwdriver/hammer.Remember to install the rubber washers on each radiater
post when reinstalling.Arrainge the hose clamps so they can be removed at
a future date without having to drop the radiater.Now,grow a third
hand ,and push up on the radiater while you install the bolts.When
done,grab the radiater and see if you can move it-shouldnt be able to.Good
luck,Roger Sisler
