Need help with taking out the shroud.
I am swapping out shrouds to a pre-cut shroud and was wondering how hard of a job it is. Anyone have pics or any info/helpful hints on doing this. I am wondering how hard it will be to get under the car to remove the small screws in the front to take it out. How hard is it after that?? Please help..Gonna try to do this tomorrow. Thanks...SR

Re: Need help with taking out the shroud. (SR1654)
I have done this job about three different times and although it isn't hard, I would recommend that you have someone to help. One person working up top and the other working down under. I had no problem getting under the car but this may be determined by your size. Rhino ramps will solve this problem. There are four bolts holding the top radiator cover on and seven bolts on the bottom. There are two retainers, one on each side, about halfway up. Before removing the shroud, make a mental note on how the sensor passes through it at the bottom on the passengers' side. Take your time and you should do well. :yesnod:

Fabetoy is 100% correct. You need a set of Metric socket wrenches too. I replaced my shroud and airbox with a Blackwing in about 1 hour by myself. The sensor is for the outside temp readout.
