Hey All

Somehow the bolt from the lower pulley on my engine has come out and stuck under radiator. Can I remove the radiator without dropping out the engine? If so how do i do it?

The radiator can be removed without removing the engine, getting it back in with engine in sitsu is a pain tho :wink:

You need to unbolt the bracket from the termostat housing, and 3 or 4 screws on each side of the shroud which will be two pieces top and bottom, there are also a lower bracket..obsiously disconnect the hoses as well.

Try and grab a haynes manual or something like that, i think there is one on this site somewhere..

Don't forget to loctite 262 on the harmonic bolt.
undo the engine mount and jack up the engine(with wood on jack)
you can then take out the radiator, shroud and hoses in one hit.
