I've read somewhere of someone (is that vague enough ?) who got their radiator out the top without removing the apron. However, they had to basically strip the front of the engine (head, water pump &

Are there any tips on removing the bottom two bolts holding in a TR3A radiator? I can see them. I can even touch them. But......I can't get a wrench on them. Thanks, Paul TR3A, in boxes

I used these sort of socket cap things I got from Eastwood. I was able to get a socket on the bolts, but not the ratchet. These little caps fit in the drive hole of the socket, and then you get at t

Paul, I just removed mine month or two ago. Spray the heck out of the two bolts with your favorite rust dissolver/penetrant (I love Kano's Sili-Kroil) and use a combination of short sockets and span

If you're wondering about the refitting of the radiator (and the next removal of same), check out Bob Schaller's book "More BS about TR's" (probably still available from TRF). Among many re-engineeri

Do I understand you to say you removed the radiator without removing the apron? Is that possible? Manual says remove the rad first but the manual sometimes lies. Geo Hahn 59 TR3A

OK, TR3 owners, I'm sure most of you have tackled this. After much agony I finally have the apron off the car, now how is one supposed to undo those two bolts that let the rad out? Is there a special

Yes you have to remove those two bolts by using an open end wrench and turning each one an 1/8 th of a turn at a time. I tried a ratcheting box end wrench but there is not enough room for it to ratch

I bought a set of offset box wrenches at Sears for $10 and they worked perfectly. The offset is exactly right to get at the bolts. -- Jay Wassall MOA#27761 1973 BMW R75/5 1959 Triumph TR3a http://www

Any excuse to buy some new tools, right? I bought an offset ratcheting wrench (didn't work, but looks good in my tool box) and a universal socket for the occasion. I believe I used a short socket on

Yes, you actually have to use and open end wrench and turn them a fraction of a turn each time. Bob Schaller, in his "More BS About TR's" shows a method of bolting down the radiator that allows easie
