Radiator replacement help

Post by PA08S80 »

Hi everyone, I just joined but have been using the forum for information now and again. I'm on my second S80...first was a 2009 3.2 that I loved but sadly it was totalled after a rear end collision. Afterwards I decided I wanted the V8 model and found one that I currently use daily. It is very nice to have and I enjoy it thoroughly...but repairs leave me with a sick stomach and empty wallet 🤣

Anyways, I'm hoping someone can chime in and help me out here. I'm replacing the radiator and for the life of me, cannot figure out what is still attached between the radiator and the AC condenser where the lines go in. I removed the bolt beside the radiator inlet and popped the condenser out of the tabs but something just won't release so I can remove the old radiator 🤔

Can someone help me out with this or provide a link that shows what I should be looking for? Thanks much in advance...

I feel like I dumb*ss...after another look with fresh eyeballs this morning, I see there's actually 2 bolts around the radiator neck...😬

I spoke too soon, the bolt I saw was actually one of the AC line bolts...but I did get it out with some prying and a few choice words
