How do you guys remove the radiator?

I'm having a bit of trouble removing the radiator. Do you guys know what needs to come off in order to remove.

Thanks,
Johnny

first the fans have to come out. then make sure all hoses and electrical connection is unhooked, 3 bolts holding the plastic cover. then it should pull real easy out the top. theres is no bolts holding the radiator in place. at least thats how mine went.

I would not say "real easy", because it is hard to maneuver by yourself. You have to unhook the a/c condensor from the radiator before it will come out. Be as careful as you can, so you don't dent up the fins.

I removed my fans while they were still in the shroud. I just slide the whole thing out the bottom (while on axle stands). Then for the a/c condenser, I loosened up some of the fittings just enough so that I could 'rotate' the whole condensor up without losing and gas. The rad I pulled out the bottom I think (not sure why!!) the first time. The second I did it all from the top. Just take it easy...it sits in kind of a craddle!
Good luck!
