560SL 86 Radiator removal

[stanmick63]

Help I cannot remove my radiator. Funny clamps on the side of the radiator. It's winggling from the bottom but I cannot lift it out
What gives?

[S Car Go]

Disconnect the hoses.

remove the fan, then remove all four brass colored retaining clips, pull out fan shroud, then remove all hoses, disconnect tranny cooler lines, and slide radiator out.

You need to remove the strap - maybe this picture of its shape helps? One either side retains the radiator, in addition to all the other stuff mentioned above.

Thanks folks, I did everything you suggest, It turns out the rubber
side had a good grip on the radiator. I needed to get out the gloves spray a bit of WD and it came out. Thank all of you again.
