window removal

It involves pushing the window out. There are some posts that give more details. Do not start by removing the metal trim. That comes out cleanly when the window is pushed out.

Thank you for the replies. I will keep an eye on my temp. gauge over the next few weeks and see if it gets lower. I will also look for the IR temp guns, but, given a new radiator and many other new...

radiator bleeding

Thank you for your replies.

So, is it worth it for me to drive up and down my driveway, perhaps using ramps to get a greater angle, until the system self bleeds?
