Ok, at every f*cking stage of the way thre is a new problem. I can't see being able to fix anything major if this is how it is all along the way...
I cant get the radiator lower pipe off as the OE clamps that hold it on are just to goddam hard to get off. There is simply NO SPACE, and yes I have tried to get the front bumper off and the bolt behind the shitty reg pate is (like everything else) stuck fast and none od my sockets seem to fit it anyway...why do they have a different size for EVERYTHING!!!?
It took me a day to just get the goddam battery securing bolt off...seiously if its this hard for something that should be simple...there is no way I'll get a HG or cambelt done at this rate.
Are there any tips, other than a chainsaw, on how to get the damn clip off and then another new one back on after I have drained the coolant...
