Yes, in hindsight the job could have been easier if only I knew then what I know now. But the problem was I couldn't see a damned thing until I removed the radiator. By then I'd already invested more time than I would have if I had to do the job again armed with the knowledge gained the first time through. I always seem to learn things the hard way!
