We've never had to unbolt the control arms, but we did have to remove the bolts to the radiator support - 3 inside each fender, 2 underneath, and 1 rod from the bottom center of the support to the upper nose structure. After that, we could shift the radiator and support forward enough to remove the shroud (with the mech. fan removed). Unfortunately, I don't think you can slide the radiator out with the shroud in place. Due to interference between the outlet tube and the upper control arm, you will likely have to rotate the rad as you remove/install it. |
