Default Re: Is it possible to repair the upper radiator tank without radiator removal?

It isn't hard to replace one, just awkward so have someone help. Depends on how the PO installed the old one, if they used the proper bolts/springs. Keep the old radiator as the stop leak will probably hold. Let me know if you need a hand or have a question. I can do it myself on my old cars but it is nice to have help to keep from scratching the paint on my good one. If you have to do it by yourself then put some vice grips on the bottom of the bolts that stick up through the crossmemeber, you can take the pin out of the top and use a ratchet to get the nuts off. Put something over the fan so you don't hit the old or new radiator and wiggle it loose if you have to.once everytking is unhooked. Shell and guard should come off after you get it off the car.
