    Default VH V8 Radiator removal?

    Hello everyone.

    I'm in the process of removing a lot of things from the engine bay. But the radiator has proven to be a pain..
    i've disconnected everything but im stuck. Theres these two mounts on the bottom.
    I don't understand how to remove/disconnect them? It may be extremely simple and i just can't see it.. but any advice would be great.



    I realise it isn't the best picture, sorry about that.

    Dude if i didn't know you better by reputation i'd suspect trolling!
    They're pins soldered to the bottom of the radiator that sit into rubber bushes on the angle brackets..
    PULL son! Pull hard, she'll come out!

    there are two clips on the side of the radiator that you squeeze togther and pull out. You the just lift radiator out. Those are just locating rubbers that you have taken photos of. Hope that makes sense.

    Yeah but we all know you had a good hard pull over it publically on the net! Good show, now you can have that well earned rest!!!

    VH-5000: On one hand i assumed he'd already undone the two clips but would've found it funnier if he hadn't and kept pulling!

    I've had my laugh for the night, time for bed.

    Will do, btw r u replacing a/c condensor or ripping the system out? I learn't the hard way when i redid my a/c that you have to custom mount the new replacement condensors as you can only get generic ones nowadays.
