I have air conditioning and power brakes. There does not seem to be enough room to remove my worn out radiator without damaging the air conditioning or disassemblying the brake master cylinder. Do I have to remove the booster and master cylindar to simply remove the old radiator? Driving me bonkers.
The service garage wants $500.00 to do this.

You can unbolt the master from the booster without loosening the lines, then tie it out of the way.Same for the a/c lines, they can be held/tied back enough to get the radiator out.
