[DeTomaso] Radiator removal procedure

[Jim Gray]

Place a hook in the wall, attach a bungee cord over the top to the hood 
latch and you can raise it to an almost vertical position. I have used this 
procedure 3 times and changed the radiator by myself each time without too 
much trouble.

Just my experience.

I forgot to mention that my hood is off. Much easier that way. If your hood
is still on, it requires some ackward contortions to do solo
