type 44, bottom radiator shroud bolt removal?

[Brett Dikeman]

There are two of these beasties- and the first one, closest to the 
fender, came out sneaking a thin-wall deep 10mm between the body and 
the A/C pipe loop.  No sweat.

The second one, however, is buried back there; the body crossmembers 
and wiring and all sorts of other garbage is in the way.  How the 
heck do you get in there?  I've even tried pushing the radiator up a 
half inch or so.  Now I can at least see it better, but even with a 
flex-joint socket and every extension in the house, I couldn't manage 
to get purchase on it.

It's the last thing holding the shroud on and thus foiling my plans 
for world domination- or at least radiator removal.  Chris's page has 
a writeup from Paul Waterloo which is about as helpful as the 
Bentley- "remove both lower bolts"...yeah, great, wonderful :-)

Oh, also- has anyone else ever modified the radiator with a drain to 
make flushes easier in the future/not require removing as many hoses? 
'Murican cars have these, why can't ours?
