type 44, bottom radiator shroud bolt removal?

[Kneale Brownson]

I couldn't get my shroud off independently either.  Had to pull radiator
and shroud together, if I remember correctly.  Had to wiggle the radiator a
bunch.  Not much clearance there.  And I had the PS pump off at that time
too.  Maybe disconnect the PS pump bracket swing bolt and shove the pump
assembly as far into the engine as possible?
