what do you do when the lower shroud nuts spins with the top of the long bolts and the clutch fan hex nut wont release, i held it with a screw driver on one side and put a 15 " cresent on it with a 2 foot pipe over the cresent handle and it still wouldnt give, it a zr2 , 2002

@woof216 You may have to put some tension on the fastener that the screw goes into. You should be able to leave the fan attached as we did in this video. Hope this helps you out.

The new radiator came with new fittings for the oil and tranny lines but you didn't use them, did you find any problems with leaks later in the weeks fallowing the replacement? just wondering, I have to do my radiator soon it has a small leak on the driverside tank of the rad where the upper oil line hooks up but i don't have the tool to unhook and put in the new fittings any thoughts or advice?

@hammond1524 If the fittings on the oil cooler lines are fine and in good shape, you can reuse them.

I figure it out after i wrote, someone replace lower shroud bolts with bolts and locking nuts that were rusted so bad they were trying to seize, undoing the line near the radiator cap so the shroud would move and removing the fitler box i was able to get a 1/2" breaker bar on top of lower bolts and a 3/8 " ratchet and deep socket on the lower nuts and a 1/2" breaker bar on top and it took all my muscle, the bar was trying to seize all the way to the end and yes WD-40 on them. The shroud is out.

you guys are great for showing us weekend mechanics how to do some work on our vehicles.

@nyunn2 We might be able to get a stock replacement for it, but as far as upgrading to the bigger V6 radiator. I'm not sure what would need to be modified (if anything) to get it to fit correctly.
