Radiator removal

[Hapnyny]

Hi folks,

Need help on how to remove the radiator from the CR1. Can’t tell from the positioning of the nose. I see some people say you need to take the hood off but not much more info after that?

Thanks

There are four very shallow 1/2" bolts that face the front of the car that lead up the left and right core support brackets at the front of the car. I dont know about removing the hood, but it might make it easier to work around. But once your remove those four bolts, the whole assembly, that also holds the hood, can come out. Then you remove the radiator from the housing it is attached to, via GM radiator rubber brackets. I am pretty sure you can not remove the radiator from its support unless you remove the support with it. Someone else can comment if I am wrong please.
