rad support carriage bolts
What was the purpose of using the 2 carriage bolts versus regular bolts? Having fun trying to remove them by myself with channel locks and my ratchet wrench -_- ...and can u get the bushing kit from parts stores or is it an order only item? Thanks

Re: rad support carriage bolts
Bushings order only not at local parts stores. Carriage works fine if you can keep it in square washer. 40 years usually messes that up.most tomes I just cut bolt.

Re: rad support carriage bolts
Imo the factory originally used carriage bolts for easier/ quicker assembly. The carriage head would not require a wrench to tighten it all up. They werent concerned with you and i getting it apart 40 yrs later. I usually use the hot wrench and replace the bolts and bushin as a whole.

Re: rad support carriage bolts
I usually tack weld the carriage bolt head to the square washer and it comes off or breaks

Re: rad support carriage bolts
To remove mine I was going to try and grab the shank of the bolt with needle nose vice grips, pray and loosen the nut.
Think it will work??
