Re: 1992 Upper Radiator Shroud Removal
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 .... |

Re: 1992 Upper Radiator Shroud Removal
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. Gary .... |

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

Re: 1992 Upper Radiator Shroud Removal
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. Gary .... |
