Is there a way to remove radiator and water pump from 36 master without taking the grill cowling off?
Thank you,
Daniel

I am not sure about the 36 but for my 38 I would be taking the grille and shell off then removing the radiator form the shell. With that off the car the water pump is very easy to remove. I* think others have taken the radiator out leaving the shell in place but with difficulty.

TONY is correct, safer to remove the rad shell intact and the hood too . mike........

That is the way to do it. Not enough room for any other removal.

Its not too bad. Its (I think) about 8 bolts to the fenders, 2 to the radiator bottom bracket and two on the rods that come off the firewall and mount to the top of the housing. It fits between the fenders kind of tight --I actually broke one of my headlamp bases because I was lifting with my forearms under these so now I'm out an additional 42 bucks :)

Hi, unfortunately there is no easy way to remove the radiator. You have to removed the shell and radiator combined.
