@MadMetalShop says:

This might be a dumb question but couldn't you just remove the fan shroud bolts…. not touch the fan…. leave the shroud in and slid the radiator out? Seems like it could be simpler.

@lovinglife3134 says:

What kind of antifreeze should I use??

@wests3771 says:

Here to say, I Heated up where it threads into the radiator and just unscrewed that part and left the quick connect attached. make sure to spray with pb blaster.

@chuckchuckf.l.o.w4131 says:

I have a thicker radiator is there a difference

@davidowings7084 says:

Your a joy to watch thanks for the video

@mikegretz8229 says:

You don't have to take the fan off. If you just unloosen the shroud and push it back ass far as it goes the radiator fits right out.
I just did it and wasted 3 hours and 70 bucks trying to get the tools and the fan off and didn't have to the whole time

@MichiganHunter1000 says:

dont say you need a special tool, then not say what its called, or show us a way without the tool

@lostinmyspace4910 says:

My radiator was leaking fluid and had a hole near the top of my 2005 Ford F150. I took it in to have a new radiator replaced. The first day using it, I lost all transmission fluid to the point the truck would not go forward or backward, and trans fluid sprayed all over the engine compartment. Had it hauled to the trans shop yesterday for an inspection. The truck tripped the engine light. What possibly happened?

@rockett68601 says:

you can also get that pesky fan shroud out of the way with a saws all. I recommend the Binford Tiger 5000.

@onlinegigpay710 says:

What's the link to that tool? Can't find it anywhere

@mustafaalhalal7353 says:

You are amazing, thank u for the info.

@eltigredetejas2328 says:
