Need help with removing the radiator......
Hi,
I'm a long time contributor on the Aerostar forum, and since my 99 Mountaineer 5.0 has not given me any trouble I have not posted here at all. Now I need a little guidance.
I am replacing the radiator and ran into a problem while removing it. I have everything disconnected, i.e. hoses and tranny cooler lines. I have removed the three mounting bolts, but now I can see that the A/C condensor is somehow attached to the radiator. Can someone please give me some help as to how to separate these two items?
Thanks,
Klaus Cook
