And please don't say "drop the engine" or "remove the heat exchangers".......
I am talking about the body side that is quite difficult to get to. Fiid. |

I did it. Used a flare wrench and vice grips, with copius amounts of penetrating oil. Coat everything down a couple of times, then have at it. It wasn't real easy, though. Required contorting into strange positions under the car, many many bad words, 7 scraped nuckles, and a lot of grunting. But it can be done. Give it a try, if it's too hard, wait till you drop the engine.
Good luck |
