As for removing the front clip and radiator support, it may need some pb
blaster, the clip I took apart was a pain at the radiator frane mounts.
Otherwise it is nuts and bolts.
The same for the freeze plug, the only one I try to pop.... never popped,
and it was a heater freeze plug... which could have been useful a few times.
Sometimes car projects are nice to be done in mild weather, too hot and we
sweat..... too cold and we freeze our fingers... but at least you can do
layers.... It has been raining heavily for the last few days, so i cannot do
tuning work on the new project: carbureted civic dx with so much vacuum
lines, and vacuum valves that I would rather work on a FSJ. It is running
lean and there are no quick adjustable screws, it is some fancy air
injectors....
