How do I remove readiator

I just removed the radiator on my 1972 SEL 4.5L. Fairly simple BUT yours may not be the same.
The key for me was the rubber loops on the top left & right sides of the radiator.
You release them & that lets the rad. move so you can pull it out- AFTER you do the following.
1.Loosen the shroud ( 4 screws) Drain The Radiator!!!
2.Take out the top & lower screws that hold the radiator to the OIL cooling radiator
,on the left looking at the front of the car(small).
3. Remove the The hoses & pipes going into the main radiator ( Inlet & Outlet ) (Oil Cooling In&Out).
4. It should slid up & out now. The first 6" may be tight. I used a BOTTLE JACK & a block of wood to ease it the first 6" or so.
I hope this helps you. Good luck War

It goes without saying that these pieces wear out, but they do so slowly, meaning you may not notice they need attention until ...
