I realize this is an old thread ... but over here, we're trying to devise a method of non-destructive radiator nipple removal (particularly for jobs that only require the fan shroud to be removed).
- WANTED: An ingenious method of removing radiator nipple
I don't understand this method of using the 10mm socket.
Can someone who does understand it elaborate for us in the thread listed above?
