Default 1992 Upper Radiator Shroud Removal

Help with upper radiator shroud remova;
- all fasteners removed - see attached screenshot

Upper radiator shroud seems stuck to radiator.
When I pry up on driver's side flange with some force, the shroud will raise 1/2 inch, but that's it.

Did I miss some fasteners or ?

Thanks in advance,

Gary

Did you get the 3 on each side? 8mm head.
Also 2 on each side down by the frame rails.

Subfixer,

Thanks for info.

Just found the drawing that shows 3 on each side - see screenshot.

Question - how in the heck do you get to those? Do you have to take the air pump off on the driver's side?

Thanks,

Gary

Subfixer,

Any secret steps/processes to removing the air pump?

Don't have a lift, so I'll have to jack it up and use a jack stand.

Thanks,

Gary

If I remember correctly, it was just a couple of bolts. I disconnected everything from the top. Remove the hoses from the pump. It doesn't need to move far.

Subfixer,

How did you go about getting the 3 8mm screws/bolts out on the passenger side?

Did you use a flexible long extension or ?

Those screws/bolts are very akward for this old man to get to.

Your help is much appreciated. Thanks,

Gary

Yes. Very hard to get them. I used a small 8mm wrench for the ones I couldn't get with a 1/4 " drive ratchet, extension and universal joint.

Once all the bolts are out, the next challenge will be getting it out from under the AC and oil cooler lines.
