Hello, can you please advise me if you can replace the radiator without removing the front body assembley ie: just lift out after disconnecting hoses and top brackets? It looks like I will have to cut the last bottom hose (front) to complete the job as long as it will lift out without any further dismantling of the car.
Regards
Gary

Hey Gary,
By now, you've probably found out that you have to remove the front plastic shroud (it helps to remove the plastic grill, too) to lift the radiator out. Even if you find a work-around; removing the plastic makes it easy to access all the hoses and clamps.
Be patient with the plastic fasteners because some are built on to the shroud. Once, you've removed the radiator; assembly is a breeze.
