The radiator and coolers are meant to come out as a unit.
Use the quick disconnects.

Disassembly inside of the engine compartment is way too hard.

You actually take APART a lot LESS if you pull it out as one whole unit.

Not as hard as cleaning up your engine bay and the street after you get your truck towed home IF you manage to shut it off before the motor or tranny is wasted by the loss of fluid from the popped quick-connect!

yeah it literally takes minutes once you know what your removing... and if you messed up and had to take back out it would be like what 10 minutes tops including searching for tools... lol BTW... I got everything all buttoned up and finally... water pump arrived! hahaha hmmm... Ill do it but not today... maybe in a few weeks or month or so... lol at least I have the part and nothing is squeaking or wobbling! heck I may buy another disco and use it on the new one! lol I really wanted CDL

Im noticing now at what seems to be full warmup with the lower temp thermostat and new radiator its sitting idle after bout 15 mins with a rev here and there at 195.4 deg! WOW thats 15 deg cooler! ..also one bottle of purple ice.... also watching my glowshift oil pressure gauge, it sits idling at about 18psi instead of 12psi! that must be due to the oil viscosity not as thin since it is not as hot! will test further today! this might for some people who switched to Shell T6 like I did and developed a leak here or there to slow that leak? I think I may have a main seal leak as I thought it was water pump but no smell of coolant...
