This is a great way to handle the split radiator frame. I did mine that way back in 2004 and have had the radiator out several times. After unbolting, I used a floor jack to lower and raise the radiator. Between the split radiator and the floor jack it made this job relatively easy. You need to remember that this split is out in the weather, exposed to the elements. Do yourselves a favor and use Stainless Steel nuts, bolts and washers here and put a little white lube on the threads when assembling. Steel bolts will rust and resist coming apart. SS will come apart as if you just put it together yesterday. Just something I learned the hard way. Wink
