Its Quite a straight forward job. Why not go out now with a can of WD40 and oil all the radiator hose clips and nuts and bolts that hold the thing together and you will find it alot easyer when you come to take the old one out.
Very Good Advice.

Have you tryed to hold with a good pair of mole Grips.
Can you get a grinder there to the blots.
How about your local garage burn them off for you.
Use a small drill and drill down the center of them then use a larger drill to drill them out if you can get near to them.
Local garage may have a buzz saw and cut them.
Its hard to say unless its infront of me. But a few things you may consider.

I've taken a few rounded beggars out by cutting a slot in the head with a hacksaw (or junior if space is tight) then getting them out with a large screwdriver (flat sided one so you can get a spanner on it). Depends on the space available.
Minimans mole grips & penetrating oil are good too though.
Or if you've an extra pair of hands, combination of the two.
Oh, or filing two new flats on the head & use an open ended spanner, that's worked in the past.
Don't you just hate that though, the seemingly simplest of jobs is almost always confounded by some small, until then insignificant component

Okey dokey Slob, not personal experience...............ON A LANDY! Probably best thing for a Renault!
Hell man, I've commited some expensive classics in my time. You know you're going to do it, you worry about it, then you do it................it's that moment of silent realisation a second after you've busted whatever it is you were doing & that involuntary groan that just escapes afterwards............."if only I'd.......!"

Hello Paul, have you got/been using a 6-sided socket to get the bolts out?. If not, can you beg, borrow or maybe not steal one, they`re worth their weight in gold for jobs like yours. Best of luck! , Pete.

Good work. See you next week.
Hey, glad it wasn't this week, the party conference always turns Brighton into a nightmare! Bet it's even worse this year.

Hmm, yer mates Landy should be easy to spot then! That sounds WILD!
If it's any (little) consolation, they've nearly finished the major re-furb of the Bournemouth International Centre which I think is why the other seaside towns have been (over) burdened with the conference sods for a couple of years.
It just seemed to get worse every year in B/ton after the bomb..........& even that managed to miss "the Thatch'!"
See you @ the w/end then chap.
Best,
Marcus.

Guess it's a good job you weren't hiding a badly shaved head with a tea towel................or wearing a "chunky" jacket!
