Radiator removal
I am wanting to do this and searched, but cannot find detail information. On the passenger side the a/C line seems to be blocking the radiator from removing from the top. I do not want to mess anything up. What do I have to do?
I can get the fans off from the bottom.

I usually remove the fans first from the bottom just for extra room... there is a big wire harness that runs right over the top of the lower radiator hose and that is most likely what's snagging you up... if you can get someone to help have them hold the radiator up while you route the harness out of the way

Thanks for the responses, Yea I have an 2002 and the passenger side A/c line is right over the radiator, so do I just wiggle it back and forth slowly. I don't want to puncture the refrigerant line, that happened once before.

once the condenser is unhooked from the radiator you should be able to move it over enough to where the line is out of the way... if you have some bungee cords that will help hold the condenser... but I think you are going to have more problems with that wire harness being in the way, you will see what I mean when you get to that point
