I sort of don't want him to know I know how to use his tools, because then he will expect me to do more of my own repairs. *wink*

3yrs ago I did take off the upper radiator hose and water neck at the manifold to replace an o-ring, but he came home and installed it himself because he didn't think I could reinstall it correctly.
What's the big deal?
Put it all on in reverse order of how it came off, right? I think he mostly wanted to be sure everything was torqued correctly.

I did take a look at it today to see how accessible the bolts are...it looks fairly simple/straightforward. The fan shroud will have to be removed, possibly the flex fan, too. I'll have to look at my schematic to see about any lower bolts and how accessible they are. If it warms up tomorrow, I just might tackle what I can. IF...I can find the tools I need. Hubby has a very bad habit of not putting things away where they belong when he has finished a project and his (garage) things are rarely where they are supposed to be.
My biggest problem is I don't have much strength/energy and I must be careful about contamination of any injuries. I've got gloves, but there isn't anything I can do about my strength.

Incorrect - they are not where YOU think they should be, but I'll bet he knows where they all are.
