:cheers: Obviously you are talking about a "cooler" attached to the vehicle, not the cooler you fill with beer and throw in the back :smash:

Since there are several "coolers", which one are you talking about and what year is your vehicle?

:D :seeya

:steering:

radiator is what you mean... take off the top shroud, disconnect tranny/coolant lines, remove the 3 bastard bolts at the bottom of the shroud on both sides and presto.. pull it out..

although i found i had to remove the fans as well.. :steering:

:iagree: Those are bastards. I removed them from under the front by grabbing the ends with pliers till they were finger loose. I used plastic expansion fasteners to replace them with. Next time I'll just pop the fasteners loose.

I didn't need to remove the fans.
