when you take out floor pan i found that if you remove ex/bottle and undo 2 bolts that hold power steering revsor it give you more room to tile rad otherwise you will have a battle to get it out

i take it that you are having both rads recored,that what i ended up do after renewing everything else
let us know how you get on

jason,

i have only taken out my vert/rad the one in front of the water pump once floor pan out you have one centre bolt at the top of rad remove this and top/bottom hose plus 2 small hoses and you can pull the top of the rad away towards engine and you have 2 more hoses to undo
and only then can you remove rad (do not forget to remove ex/bottle and undo 2 bolts on power steering res/bottle this gives you about 3/4 inch of play to pull top of rad towards engine.

the bootom rad was taken out by my garage when it was recored so i not sure how that one comes out,i only know about the top rad
