radiator removal
can anyone tell me the easiest way to remove the six lower screws on the fan shroud, and then the trick of getting them back in?
ps. a while back i was on here talking about a vats problem and got a lot of great advice on where the unit was. however, as it turned out it wasn't the vats system after all, it was the starter.

Re: radiator removal (legs)
I've just finished doing this on my '94. I could reach the 3 on the passenger side without much difficulty using a 1/4 drive ratchet, socket and extension. The very top one I removed with a small box end wrench.
The 3 on the drivers side were a bit tougher. I removed the AIR pump assembly and used the box end wrench and a lot of patience. When I re-assembled the shroud, I pulled the clips off and turned them around so that they are now mounted on the frame pieces opposite the shroud. The screws are now mounted from inside the A/C condenser access - it made the re-assembly a little easier but it still took a bit of patience.
Good luck.
