Subfixer,

Thanks.

Am thinking about sitting on the floor with my feet under the car and reaching in to remove those 3 8MM screw/bolts. Rather than bending on my knees.

Curious what position you used?

Thanks,

Gary

Subfixer,

On your knees or sitting with feet under?

No matter how you approach the 3 screws on each side, it's
a PITA!
My advice, be patient....
OBTW: Subfixer has a lift 😀. but still a PITA

Mystic ZR1,

Thanks. Patience is not my virtue. LOL

Had lifts until I downsized and now I don't.

Doing the pass side is my Monday project.

No, not directly, but was once told we're all distant relations.

Subfixer & Mystic ZR-1,

Was able to bend over and remove 4 of the 7MM screws (2 each side).

Ordered a flex head ratcher wrench to remove the top 7mm screw on each side.

Waiting on new the new wrench to remove the last 2 - 7mm screws. Ordered a DeWitts 2 row pro radiator.

BTW DeWitts gives 10% discount if you're a Veteran.
