How does this radiator come out
In the near future I will need to replace my radiator. It's in a 1990 P30 chassis and is clear to me that the radiator will easily fit out through the hood. It looks like a simple but work intensive...

I pulled mine out the front. It was an 8 hour job coming out 6 to put it back in. i stayed with the 4 core setup but went with 5/8" tube instead of the 3/8 that was in it. It was a lot of work but well worth it. Somewhere I have a more detailed description of events.

I'll bet we have the exact same chassis. My plan is to do the minimum amount possible to get a new radiator installed. I hope to not pull the fiberglass, grill and bumper. It doesn't look like I need to pull all of that to get the radiator out. My belts look really nice and modern. I'll leave them and the water pump, not going to mess with that either. That little hose off of the back of the pump will get replaced although it really looks like it's been changed out in the not to distant past, the hose clamps are all shiny new looking. The hose feels good but, I'm going to replace it anyway. My goal is to just get a new radiator installed with as little pain and suffering as possible.
