Radiator

Post by Conrad »

So is there some magic words to get the wire out from under this tab? It doesn't look like the plug will fit through, and i can be a bit ham-fisted, so I'm hesitant to just pry it up and chance tearing the rivet out of the lower tank...i want to bring the radiator to a shop to flush and pressure test, but not with the fan and wires on it.
Thanks!

Pry it open with little flat screw driver then when you have clearance use a small needle nose plyers to open it.
Take it slow. It will open up.

Thanks! All that thin aluminum just seems so...delicate.
