I need to replace two lower radiator mounts. Is it possible to replace the two lower mounts without disconnect A/C lines on the condenser or coolant lines by myself? Thanks for your instruction and help!

Genuine W0133-1820842 or Lower Mount - GM (10341994)

Good evening.

No, you do not.

You need to release the radiator and lift it up enough to remove the mounts. I would do one at a time. Lift up one side at a time and replace them.

I leave them all connected. You should be able to lift it enough to free the mounts.

Hi Roy!
Your instruction is really good. One more thing is not clear for the best way to safely list the radiator? How did you lift your radiator? From bottom or pull up after releasing coolant?
Thanks!
