gen. door, radiator....

[mbulriss]

Rose Mary,

You just have to reach way down in there and do the same thing as you
did on the top hose. It is tough to get to down in that tray, so it
might be easier to take the bottom hose off from the water pump
instead and leave the hose connected to the radiator until you get it
out. I'm thinking that's what I might have done to get my 83 radiator
out of the genset tray when I re-did the radiator.

Good luck.
