I would exactly mark the washer location of the center pivot bolt on the bottom side of the front cross member to aid in getting it back in the same position which will help with front end sheet metal alignment if your aligned is currently good between the fenders, hood, firewall and grill shell.
Also, if you could how many turns it took to remove the nut, that would help to get it back to the same "squish" on the rubber mount there.

Thanks, Kev
Sounds like what I was thinking…a lot of disassembly. If I’m to attempt this, it’s going to take some time for me to work up the nerve!

There are bolts at the top and sides, and the large pivot bolt at the bottom. Obviously the firewall rods are in the way as is the hood.
If it was possible to get all the bolts out and remove the large nut underneath the front cross member, then you'd have to tilt the radiator in and up to get that bottom bolt to clear the cradle. I'd image the fan and waterpump would be in the way. Otherwise, you'd have to do what I did. Remove hood, remove bumper and supports. Remove Headlights, remove fenders, remove nuts from the firewall wall rods. Remove lower pivot bolt nut, remove all hoses. Take off the grille surround. Then you can pull the core support, and radiator out as an assemble. Lay it down on a blanket and remove the bolts that holds it to the core support and also that bottom pivot bolt. Reverse the process to install. I should have many of the pictures in my blog.

Next question….
If I were to remove the radiator to get it to a shop, how does it come out? I know the front clip can come off as one assembly, but I don’t have the space or hoist to do that? Also, If I go that route, then it opens the door give some attention to other items that I don’t know if they were tended to back in 2004. Such as, timing chain, timing pan seals, center steering bearing etc… The front motor mount was just replaced by Allen. Any thoughts on this approach?

Regarding my fuel issue…I know my heat riser is out of commission….rusted/stuck and no counter weight. Based on what others have said, I’m pretty confident that it must be in the open position. But, I don’t know how to verify that?
Can someone tell me how I can verify? ![]() ![]()

Good chance to brag! I got this for Christmas from my Daughter Sam, she made it with her Cricut, a computer driven cutter, she did the artwork and then she cut it in a series of vinyls.

TxGoat - I have tightened the packing nut about a 1/2 turn. I do not see any sign of coolant leaking around the shaft or around the packing nut or pulley. I do need replace the lower hose as others have mentioned and have the pipe to do that, now. I do have a very small known leak in the radiator, but I must have a leak somewhere else as well. I’ll keep looking. I did find a radiator shop near by that looks very promising. I’ll give them a call on Monday.
![]() BigKev - I’m not sure about phenolic inserts on the fuel pump bolts. The pump was just rebuilt by Terrell Machine. ![]()

Only left to is go around with a laser temp gun and try to figure out where it the hottest.
I'd temp check the pump as well as if that is getting heat soaked the volume of left fuel in the pump could expand and push fuel out the line. Do you have the phenolic inserts on the fuel pump bolts? It is puzzling.
