G'day Alan
I can see that you haven't experienced the removal of the radiator from
a BN3.
First remove the grille, followed by the wind deflectors. As 2 hours
have passed it's time for coffee and a think of how best to remove the
fan blades.
Next are the 8 set screws that hold the radiator to the two uprights
that sit under the front shroud. Then it's it a simple matter of pushing
it forward through the grille opening without damaging the vanes on the
water pump puller.
The last time I did it took me 3 1/2 hours and it's not a fun job.

Ron -
Yanking radiators out of the 4 or the six are both very easy and can
literally be done in less than 10 minutes.
