and lift the bottom tabs out of their slots.
Remove the grill from the vehicle.

their corresponding tabs on the heat exchang-
er. (See Figs. 17.A-a, 17.A-b, 17.A-c.)
D. Take the heat exchanger with all three brack-
ets mounted and place it into position. Mark
the hole positions from brackets A and B and
drill with a 17/64" drill. To mount bracket C,
you will remove and use an existing screw in
the lower passenger’s side of the hood latch
support structure. Use the 1/4-20 x 3/4" hard-
ware to secure brackets “A” and “B”. (See
