What Chappers said.

It pays to give the header bolts a good soaking with WD40 or similar once a day a few days before removal. Makes them easier to get out and less likely to snap off.

handy tip for protecting radiator fins. Cut a cerial box or better still cardboard box to fit over the back of the rad and tape it in place over the fins, so if you slip no harm done.
