I'm trying to remove the radiator on a 98 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer
V8. I searched the forum and found a few articles from 2005 that
touched on this subject, but there were a few details left out that i
hoped someone could fill in for me. I've removed the hoses,
transmission lines, fan shroud and now comes the hard part. The air
conditioning condensor is attached to the radiator by two clips on the
bottom and a slotted bracket on the top right. I have removed the
bottom clips and the only thing remaining is the upper right slotted
bracket. How in the heck can you separate the radiator from the ac
condensor? Do i cut the bracket off? or is there some way to slide the
condensor off the bracket? I have tried to slide the condensor off,
but there just doesn't seem like enough room to maneuver. 2nd part of
the question, there is a leak near the drain valve. I'm assuming there
is a leak in a seam. Can it be repaired? Any help would be
appreciated. Thx, Mark.
