Re: Need help with removing Front End Clip

I did mine last weekend. (1980 SWB)

Here were my steps:

EDIT (My hood was aready off the truck!)

1. disconnect battery
2. disconnect radiator hoses and trans cooler lines from radiator.
3. disconnect AC Hoses that pass thru the core support
4. disconnect the front wiring harness from the back of the fuse block on the firewall
5. disconnect grounding wire connecting core support to the frame
6. disconnect vacuum line to canisters ect (including fuel tank vent lines)
7. attached four heavy straps from the top insides of the fenders to my wench (only had girlfriend to help me!)
8. removed two large bolts holding the core support to the frame
9. removed one bolt on each fender inside the door jam
10. removed one bolt on each fender under the truck, near door jam
11. removed two bolts on each fender inside the fender well
12. removed right side tire (to clear factory AC unit) (may not be necessary but being careful!)
13. lifted clip up and forward while checking for obstructions, or connected parts!
14. lowered clip onto dolly

Wrote from memory so help me out folks if I left anything out.

Jonas, sounds like you already had all this, but thought it might help someone searching for the same topic!
