I'm trying to remove the radiator on a 98 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8. I searched the forum and found a few articles from 2005 that touched on this subject, but there were a few details left out that i hoped someone could fill in for me. I've removed the hoses, transmission lines, fan shroud and now comes the hard part. The air conditioning condensor is attached to the radiator by two clips on the bottom and a slotted bracket on the top right. I have removed the bottom clips and the only thing remaining is the upper right slotted bracket. How in the heck can you separate the radiator from the ac condensor? Do i cut the bracket off? or is there some way to slide the condensor off the bracket? I have tried to slide the condensor off, but there just doesn't seem like enough room to maneuver. 2nd part of the question, there is a leak near the drain valve. I'm assuming there is a leak in a seam. Can it be repaired? Any help would be appreciated. Thx, Mark.
