I need help with suggestions to remove the radiator.....before I break more than just the two mounting bolts. I often hear reference to "Lots of Heat", although I am not sure that is what I need here. It seems to be sitting in there just as secure as before. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Allen Heilner

If it's like my '38 unstyled B you'll have to remove every square head bolt all the way around the top and bottom which was easier said than done on mine since about half the head were rusted beyond removal. I ground the heads off the problem bolts and the radiator came right out. I'll worry about removing the bolts from the tanks later. Heat and patience is the key here - it's not a fun job. Again, I'm assuming the BR radiator is similar to the row crop.

I may have not been clear. I am not able to remove the radiator from the frame, let alone procede to remove the core!
Thanks for any suggestions.

Allen, if you break those bolts you will have a hard time getting the stubs out of the radiator. Probably the safest approach is to drill the bolt heads deep enough that the heads come off the bolts when you try to turn them, then remove the radiator & at that time you can use heat & penitrating oil on the studs that are sticking out, at least that way you will have something to get hold of to turn them. It will be almost impossible to get penitrating oil to the threads in the radiator without removing it first.
