yea i look at the cores good before i dismantle. if they are junk, i cut them down through the headlight mounting holes. then undo the 4 bolts at the backside of the fender. so much easier than screwing around with them 8mm sockets and wobbles to get the front fenders unhooked. this way the rad stays supported untill the body is out of the way and then mass destruction can happen. lol
