The AC coil to get to the 2 radiator bolts on the left

Ok. Here we go. Now, I do have to un-loosen the ac coil to get to the 2 radiator bolts on the left. Here's my problem. There are 2 ac coil bolts that are perpendicular on the left housing of the ac unit. Just low enough, out of reach to use a 10mm wrench. And I cant use a socket wrench because it's too tight. That's why I was wondering if I had to take out the whole universal black grill that houses the lights. Unless there is an easier way to get to the two small bolts on the ac coil. Of course the coil sits directly in front of the two bolts on the radiator.

Hello,

Those are a tight fit. They are assembled as one unit when the van was made so you may need to remove the condenser along with the radiator. Here are a couple of guides to give you an idea of what you are in for when doing the job.

Here are diagrams of what it will be like for your van (below)

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
