    Did a search in each section but didn’t find what I exactly needed in full detail(aside from the write-up in the how to but still unclear on some areas).

    When swapping out radiators, how do you guys get the large/fat wiring harness/loom that runs parallel with the radiator out of the way? Also how difficult is disconnecting the tranny line coolers that goes in/out of the radiator? And lastly is the a/c condenser on the other side/in front of the radiator?

    The transmission lines are easy. Just push the line in, like you're trying to push the line into the rad., then take a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry the small C-clip wire clip out from the side. Be careful not to loose it. Once the wire C-clip is removed, just pull the trans line out. Same for both top and bottom. There is some plastic holders on top that hold the ac condensor on the front of the rad. I thinki they are 10mm. not positive though. The big harness is held in by plastic clamps, just pop loose with a screwdriver.

    ah good to know. thanks and i'll keep this thread posted. im running an ac delete so the condenser is useless and taking up weight as well as fresh air for the radiator and such.
