Front Suspension Progress

Yeah the Fan Shroud can be a PITA. I hope I dont have to remove mine when I do the front suspension. If I do I most likely will just take the bolts out of the radiator support and move it forward a few inches. Hopefully anyways.

Go down and buy an 11/16" crow foot wrench in 1/2" or 3/8" drive.
That will enable you to get to the pesky upper A-arm nuts without pulling the shroud.
Getting the bolts out is a different story. Just finished bolting my rebuilt suspension on yesterday. Let me know if you guys have any questions...

i just had to pull off my pullies and unbolt my fan shroud to get it out but i have heard of others having trouble getting theirs out. everything is case by case on vettes as im finding out myself. very good pictures though and keep us updated.
