I recently hit a racoon or fox on my way back from new york. I made it home safely, but noticed that my rad had moved back. On further inspection it seemed like the passenger radiator carrier mount has been bent as well. I'm trying to remove the mount and then bend the metal bracket and reinstall the plastic holder. The problem I'm having is that the plastic mount holder or whatever that holds the radiator carrier in place wont come loose. I don't know if i'm doing it wrong, but I know I have to press and the pull down. Does anyone have any tricks for this or able to give me a hand i'm out in oshawa.

Thanks
Randy

 

Your title had me worried for a bit

 

Not sure what part you mean. Did you get the radiator fan out? The fan assembly is a little tricky to get out.

 

Lower cooler bracket. Mounting parts F radiator. BMW # 17117542517, 17114715021

this is the part

 

anyone?

 

You got #3 out and you are looking on how to get #18 out??

Have you removed the under-body plastic panel and taken a look from below to see how it's in?

Looking at a #18 part photo, it looks like it has some molded in clips.

 

it is a clip that you have to push in and pull it off a metal clip but i cant seem to do it. I dont know if there is a special technique
