Hi Rich
Yes i pulled the radiator and fan together. Scott Mockrey suggested
pulling the PS pump ( an easy job ) and that would allow  pulling them
as a unit. It worked. As I said in the previous post I pulled the fender
well just for practice, but it is not a  necessary thing to do. When
pulling the PS pump be sure to have some baggies, rags and zip ties for
the hose ends and keep then elevated so they will not drain and make a
mess. When pulling  the pump out keep it  as level as possible to not
lose the fluid in the pump. Scott recommended turning the pump pulley by
hand once you put the pump back in to help prime it again. I did not
have any surprises when I finished. As it was the first time doing this
I did not hurry and tried to be very complete when  finishing each stage.
