Unless they are rusted tight.  I can't get mine off.  Broke one wrench
already.  I need to put a torch on it hopefully the will free up.

Where do you live? If you are anywhere near me, I'd be
happy to help you swap out the radiator as its an easy
job. The endlinks are pretty easy as well. The engine
light signifies that there is a trouble code stored in
your car's computer. This code may tell us why the
idle is high. Replacing a PS pump is not easy but its
possible that a line is leaking and not the pump
itself. If you have any tools, I'm sure we can walk
you through the radiator and endlink procedures. there
is a procedure for pulling codes from the computer on
shotimes but you can also get a digital code scanner
for less than $30 or so.

good luck
Ian
