Is there any way to take the grille off without taking bumper cover off?  Going to be replacing radiator.

2006 Cadillac STS 128467 miles 3.7L automatic no codes.


There is no 3.7L engine. I'll assume you meant 3.6L

Usually, radiators are removed from the inside, not the outside.


There are bolts behind the grille that you can't get to from the inside.


did you try from below?

Use an extension and a wobble adapter with a socket.

  1. Remove the air cleaner, cooling fan & shroud. Disconnect hoses.
  2. Raise the vehicle
  3. Remove condenser mounting bolts. Move it out of the way
  4. Remove the transmission cooler mounting bolts.
  5. Remove air baffle retainers & bolts
  6. Remove radiator support brackets & bolts
