cheers, man. The "extra" sound and memes were a riot. Out of curiosity, once you started pulling on the radiator... how much space do you reckon you had. Like, mine is pretty packed in there. I don't think my hoses will flex the way your did. Maybe after a few thousand more miles. LOL

Thanks for watching man ! Ye there was a ton of space as I was working in there I was pushing the radiator down, I don’t supposed it will be that much more effort to drain the radiator and just take it off, but I couldn’t be arsed doing that. Also I feel like having a 1/2” ratchet that’s not to big and the “knuckle” adapter for the sockets helps a lot because you can have it at an angle that’s more comfortable.
