Chasing a leak but I was more than happy to do a cooling system refresh. Thought it was the expansion tank so I replaced the expansion tank, hoses, water pump, water pump pulley, thermostat, fan switch, etc... last weekend. Leak seemed to be coming from right around the radiator plug so I replaced that as well. Still leaking. I've decided to replace the radiator today.
So I've removed the shroud/fan, hoses, transmission cooler (bought new o-rings), and expansion tank. I've also removed the torx screw on the drivers side about 90% of the way up on the mounting bracket. The radiator can push out but it looks like it is still attached to two hoses on the drivers side (one of them being the power steering hose). Do these hoses need to be removed or is there something else I need to remove or push away on the mounting bracket to not have these two hoses attached as I attempt to take out the radiator?
