[DeTomaso] Radiator removal procedure

[Mike Drew]

Charlie,

It's much heavier than you imagine. Make sure you have help. Cover the fenders with thick pads so as to not be furious with your helper when she subsequently drops it on the car after its lifted up!

The hard part isn't lifting it straight up. The hard part is moving it out of the car. It has to go one side or the other meaning somebody has to lean way over and support the weight of their side. I have supported one end of the radiator inside the front trunk while the assistant runs around to the other side of the car to further assist....
