Radiator stuck in car
Hi all; Followed instructions and can't get radiator out of vehicle. 2003 XKR. Everything is disconnected, but it doesn't seem like there's enough clearance. Is there a way to remove the condensor from the front of the radiator before you remove it? Thanks
Yes there is on the on the non R as I did it on my '99 to avoid having to recharge the AC. You go through the grill area and there are 2 or 4 nuts that are in the corners holding the condensor to the radiator. It is fiddley as hell so take your time and it is no fun.
I was determined not to drain the refrigerant when removing the radiator from my 2002 XKR but in the long run I had to disconnect the lines to get it out. I even got the condenser separated at the bottom but no luck. Eventually it came out as an assembly. It is really tight on the right side.
