Has anyone removed the radiator on a pre 1986 Spirit or Mulsanne without removing the bonnet. It looks possible by removing the fan. I have changed a Shadow 1 radiator this way in the past. Mark | ||

Omar is correct and is easier to remove bonnet and need two and very easy 4 1/2 inch bolts on each bracket and I mark around the edges of the brackets with a white pen so you can put it back in the right place first time .My wife and I did it together. Can be done with bonnet in position but famous Tom Johnston in Adelaide said remove bonnet. | ||

Radiator changed, without removing bonnet or fan. Easy to remove and refit with two people ( self and wife ).The biggest pita were the cowl nuts. Mark | ||

Good job Mark...many hands make light work. I assume you checked everything that was accessible with radiator out?  | ||

Maxwell, yes including replacing one oil cooler pipe, together with changing atf and power steering atf and the brake pipes under the radiator become easy for cleaning and greasing. Mark | ||
