I need help from you guys asap...

I need to get the rad out of my mr2 as i sold it to Rico, but im having MAJOR difficulty actually getting the damn thing outta the car..

I drained it, took off all the hoses, removed the top bolt for the fan, removed the bonnet catch thingy, the rad clamps, what now? its stuck, it moves but it wont come out!!!

Does it drop out from the bottom? If so it looks like ill have to remove a cross member thing.

HELP PLEASE! :help:

Ive taken and replaced rads in other cars before Jim, I didn't think this one would be such a booger to get out. I haven't exactly done it on purpose, i dont like havin a bad name :(

There are no bolts at the bottom. The rad sits on 2 big round rubber blocks. They'll be rotten, but are reusable if required.

From underneath, prise with a long screwdriver between the bottom of the rad and the beam the rad sits on and it'll pop free.

Dont worry about it mate :D

Would have been nice to have the car back on the road for the weekend

but its no biggy!!

I'll just go with Jim in his...

Good luck getting it out mate,

i've taken one out of a tubby before and could have sworn there where bolts at the bottom

but the rusty rubbers ring a bell... :thumbsup:

I'll take the exhaust of mine tomorrow mate and post it for the weekend.

I had a good go at getting the exhaust off last night aswell....

My 19 inch breaker bar & 17mm impact socket wouldnt loosen the bolts....

*Must remember to take angle grinder with me next time*

:yes:

So is it just the radiator coming now??

Well I'll make sure we have another go at the exhaust this weekend as its much easier to get now with the back bumper off n all!

AND when bfuller was doing it it was about 10:30pm! (tres dark)

I was serious about the angle grinder thing! - Them bolts are rock solid.

If I cut the cat in half, pull the exhaust out then grind the bolts off, it'll be a 10 min job :D
