Default Help me remove fan shroud

I have a 75 that I need to access the A arm bolts. I had new bushings installed and now the front sits to high. I was told maybe the bolts were tightened without the weight on the springs. so now I have to loosen them, drive a couple blocks and retighten. I removed the 4 bolts on the top brackets. the bottom bolts are gone and I don`t see any others. Is it just jammed in there?

on my 77 to remove the fan shroud you have to take out the radiator...the fan shroud lays on the fan and the radiator gets taken out from the top and then the shroud can be moved forward and removed....radiator and shroud removal seems to be different for the different years...not sure if you need to do this for what you are attempting to do...

Yup. The radiator has to come out to provide the clearance needed for the shroud removal.

Seems that on my 76 you need to take out the two top bolts and loosen the bottom bolt in the fender wells that secure the radiator support so that you can pull the support forward. I also removed the hood and fan. Cuss a little and take the radiator out then cuss more and fight the shroud out. It helps with a friend or two. One to hold the support forward and the other to lift the radiator and shroud out.
