The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Is it possible to repair the upper radiator tank without radiator removal?

Last time I had a radiator out, I left the headlight bar where it was. I drained the cooling system, disconnected the wires to lights and horn, removed the shell, undid the hoses and the two bolts that hold it in. Then, I took off the bonnet (hood) and the two radiator stays. I don't bother with propping up the front of the bonnet in situ - I think it is easier to just take it off and be done with it. Then, simply lift it out.
