    V8 Fan Clutch Wrench Size

    Thanks man, I realized this only after I had removed everything as an assembly and was able to see how it went together. It still looks like it would be extremely difficult to do given the limited space that you have to work with. Anyway, I solved this problem for future radiator removal by...

    2006 radiator replacement

    I guess what I meant or should have said was that the Radiators that are being made today are "throw away" meaning that you cant repair them.

I still think the nut is actually 1 3/8" (34.9 MM) and not the standard 36 MM that everyone...

    2006 radiator replacement

    Don't know if the Mountaineer is like the '96 Explorer but if it is, from what I've been able to find it looks like the Radiator and A/C Condenser must be removed in one piece which means disconnecting the A/C lines and losing all of the Freon. Of coarse venting Freon into the atmosphere is...
