sure makes the job easier from my experience. Welded items would have had to be removed to get it out that way. I couldn't pull the radiator out of mine with the great big brass drain cock on the bottom. Front clip on and off in an afternoon to replace a water-pump.

Hi Rob, I now have a SERIES 3, 6 cylinder long wheel base, it nearly ready for rego. New front brakes but having trouble bleeding them as usual !!!!!! and I have to get new shocks all round then back to rego.

He may have one of the late front clips that had a removable crossmember at top, front and center. The bar was held by 2 bolts each side. Presumably the late change was done to ease access. It would also have avoided wrestling the clip back into place if either the clip or the cab had been tweaked.
