I dont get it, removing the radiator takes like ten minutes?

I never have removed it before, If I need to, then I'm glad it is that easy:D

a drill wont be needed, there is a big head on that sucker so some channel locks or vise grip will get it off. Radiator is so easy to take off its no big deal.

yea, I didn't want to have to remove the radiator, but it's looking bleak..There just isnt enoguh room to get a drill in there:(

If you can't get a set of vice grips in there. you may have to remove the rad to get enough room. It sucks, but it might have to be done.
