Default radiator replacement

I'm trying to change my radiator due to it leaking. Well is there a trick to getting the bolts that hold the radiator in off? i finally got the drivers side but can't get the pass side one more then half way

They should come straight out. That's kinda odd. Are you talking about the ones on the sides that you have to do from underneat the car? Check to see that the nut that's welded on the top side didnt break loose. if that happened, you'll have to hold a box wrench on the nut while you spin the bolt from underneath.

if you cant get something in there, your only other option might be cutting the mount off. either that, or get yourself some more space by taking off the intake manifold.
