Hi all, I am knee deep into trying to remove my radiator in an 82 auto,350 corvette. That sucker will not come out. I removed the fan moved the shroud back as far as I can, it won't come out. Watched a youtube showing it coming out the bottom of the car.The radiator frame is still in place but that will be the next thing I try. Looked up "how to's" on the interweb the way they do it will not work for me, maybe the 82 is different. If you have any tip or tricks please pass them on to me.

I remove the hood and then pull the shroud, radiator and support as 1 unit.

The lower tube usually hangs up on the frame or suspension (upper arm).

You need to move the shroud as far back as possible and lift the driverside of the radiator, so the low tube swings to the inside and clears the suspension.
