Frogger2662 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 That's good advice on the bolts. They appear in good condition. To be on the safe side i will a soak them in Kroil for a day or two. Will i have to spread the fenders apart some and pull straight up on the support to remove it?

The holes in the core support where the bolts pass through are huge to allow for body alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Fused is more like it I destroyed one of mine taking it out so when reinstalling it from a parts truck I was liberal with the anti-seize and then packed the "funnel" with grease. Destroying them is the only way to remove them here...lol, but then again a lot of things don't "unscrew" here after a few years, and certainly not after 35-40 years.

Andre Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 If you have the place to hang a chain block above the engine bay, there is no real need to remove the complete radiator support. With the fan, alternator and steering pump removed there is plenty of space to remove the engine, even without removing the radiator. Hood has to come off. All possible to do alone, as I did mine in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
