Are there only the 2 bolts in the top. 1. please don't top post - it makes threads impossible to follow. 2. there are only 2 bolts - the bottom of the frame sits in two sockets. unless something is bent, and if the electrical sockets are unplugged at the bottom, it'll just lift out. |

If it is an auto tranny the transmission fluid hoses will have to be removed from the bottom. IIRC I used a pencil to plug them. Try rocking the rad side-to-side while lifting; I'm sure there is nothing actually holding the bottom except stickiness. The proper incantations will come to you ;-) Unless I am confusing it with a different car there are two locating pins on the bottom that point upward, and that's it. Mike |

I was afraid something would break. You do have to disconnect the automatic transmission oil cooler lines as well. Did you remove the splash shields from underneath to make sure you've got everything disconnected that needs to be? -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

From the pictures I have seen for replacement fans it looks like there are 2 bolts in the bottom. I called the dealer and the parts dept says there is one bolt in the bottom. I can't get to the bolts from the top side. |
