Radiator removal hints/tips

[Billy_rfc]

Hey guys, I've had a look through the old posts but can't find anyone with advice on the removal of the radiator. Mines about shot as I had steam coming out from around the end caps, so re core or new radiator will be needed. Think i'll need to jack up the front for access?
All advice welcomed.

I took mine out in the summer to have it re-cored (about £150 locally I think). Took the bonnet off first (10mm nuts reachable through radiator air intake at the front).

All pretty straight forward after that, but the radiator takes a bit of wiggling to get in and out.

While I was there I replaced the water pipe and hoses with stainless steel and silcone ones from ACT.

I did mine ok too

Just took it down to Joolz, and he sorted it. Warranty paid.
