How do you remove the radiator from a Lincoln Continental?

Answer:

I know that the early 90's have two round rubber mounts above the radiator near the windshield fluid reservoir, and one towards your battery. You would first want to unbolt those from your front framing that your hood latch is mounted to. A 10mm. socket makes this simple. Then you must remove the radiator hose that runs into the radiator near your battery, and another one that is on the passenger side at the bottom of the radiator. They will either have clamps with screws on them that you will need a flat head screwdriver for, or the mostly likely option is they will have clamps on them that you squeeze together to slide down the hose using pliers. Make sure you slide them 3-4 inches or more away from where they originally were because you must clear the flare that is on the pipe inside the tubbing. Next, you would want to remove your fan so that the radiator comes out easier. There is a bolt at the top of the fan shroud near the passenger side, and one below the pipe that you will have just recently removed the rubber tubbing from near the battery. Once you have removed these, unplug the fan and it you will pull it up and out. You may have to wiggle it around a little if it is caught up on something. Lastly you will need to unscrew the transmission lines that run into the passenger side of the radiator. You will want to use a crescent wrench for this. Also, there are two brackets that hold the lines to the bottom of the radiator. Make sure to unbolt those first or you may crimp or snap the lines. After all of this is done, you will simply have to pull the radiator up and out as with the fan.
