Re: Motor/transmission removal and reinstall, 48 coupe

Still working my way to getting the motor out. I did a search on removing the radiator, which seems like a problem. Some said it will come out the top with the top brace in place, some said you have to remove it. Someone in this thread mentioned cutting it out of the way.

I can't seem to get the radiator out with it in place. The top outlet won't clear. If I remove the fan and lower hose, will I have enough room, or am I just making more work? It would seem that it was designed to come out straight up. Am I fighting a losing battle?

I'll have to say, the engineers on this should have had to spend some time in the field working on things before they got to design anything.
