So I've been going at it with this front end for a few hours now. Getting stuck on stupid stuff, like the radiator house that was a pain to get off. Now what I can't figure out, and can't seem to find anyone else having this problem, is the hoses going from the radiator to the left intercooler. This is preventing me from swinging the front out of the way. Can I just disconnect this? Our am I missing something?

I just did this too. There are two hoses for the automatic transmission cooler lines that are not mentioned in the write up...are those what you are talking about? One metal one that runs up the middle of the radiator and over to the top passenger side, and another on the bottom passenger side? I just disconnected the top one plugged it up good and swung out the front out of the way with the bottom hose still attached. If you disconnect the lower one as well you might loose to much transmission fluid, or you might not. I did not want to risk it.

That sounds like it. That would make sense that's its transmission fluid since its not in some write ups. Here's a crappy cell pic.
