help please

Remove either the exhaust manifold, or the fans from the radiator. The radiator should pull right out.

I cant get the fans out

I have pulled the top bolts out
I cant see any on the bottom
If they are where I cant see they are where I cant fit a wrench


this is gonna be a late night.......

um OK

the rad should pull straight up. unbolt the fans and pull up on the rad. or take off the exhaust manifold first to get more room

This is why Craftsman invented hammers

lol! :grinno: :screwy:

I thought the hammer was for adjusting timing

Maybe I will use the engine hoist to pull the rad out...lol

nothing wrong with that, I"v used them to lift the car up to take a tire off.

crack open the top of your battery and use the stuff inside to polish your engine.... should fix your problem

i used a cheery picker to lift a car and power wash the WHOLE DAMN THING befor stripping it i have pics some where it looks like the car is doing a masive wheelie while smokeing the rear tires almost

hey, we're both gonna be rippin our cars apart tommorow lol!



mine is half ripped

everything but clutch cable, alt, ac/comp, and axels has been pulled

tommorrow I get to strip the new (to me) engine and put t-belt and stuff on it
and remove both 'folds

plus I am replacing the clutch

all by sundown I hope

whew :rolleyes:

wow.... learn from my experiance.... change everything (timing belt, water pump, gaskets etc etc...) BEFORE putting it in, it is SO much easier, and make sure its 100% built and ready and everthings bolted on RIGHT before it goes in or else u will have problems. if it was me, i'd make sure the engine was built first before i started pulling the old one out. and have it in my garage for another week double checking things before it went in. because my eacv came loose 4 days after driving the car and it worried me cuz i thought the motor was fucked

I'm making fiberglass speaker pods, so um rip something apart for me too while your at it.

That might help you some

thanks v-k
I have that bookmarked

Electronic Air Control Valve

to get the fans out there are only a few bolts from what i remember and then just unplug them and u should be able to pull out the radiator (the only part i had trouble with was unplugging the fans (which my friend had to do for me) when i replaced my radiator, its a simple thing. U did drain it and take off the hoses right?

Those clips are a bitch to work with. You have to go in at some ungodly angly to see them.

[QUOTE U did drain it and take off the hoses right?[/QUOTE]


dam! no wonder it was so hard, I was trying to save the coolant.....
:rofl: :screwy: :rofl:

I have all of that done, but the lower hose, I cant get to the lower clamp.

Like V-K says....."ungodly angle"

Um take the lower hose off where it connects to the block. And the eacv is located on the intake manifold.

I got the rad out....had to be mean to the compressor lines

Do I need to pull the valve cover to replace the t-belt?
I manual seems to indicate so, but I dont want to spend it if I aint gotta.

thanks
