I don't remember exactly what I had to do other than lift and pull, maybe try to rock it from side to side also. I did put sheets of cardboard on both sides of the rad before removing, to try to protect it since, as you noticed, it's very crowded in there. Also some moving pads/blankets on top of the engine.

I was able to get mine out by myself, but it would probably be easier with someone on each side of the car.

Hope this helps! Eric
Yes thank you very much!! I have 2 stripped out Phillips head screws/ bolt underneath that I thought were what was holding it in, so I was planning on starting to drill them out and replace them thinking they were what was still holding the radiator in... But if it's just the rubber grommets at the bottom I think I can muscle the thing out. The top grommets were pretty dry rotted and let go fairly easily.

But thank you VERY much.

Check to see if your aux fan is working. Check the little white box in drivers side of engine cabinet to see if fuse is blown.
