You don’t have to disconnect the ac lines or remove the shroud/oil cooler(s). You access the bolts across the front that connect the radiator to the condenser through the front grill opening. They’re underneath the foam insulation strip across the front.

Hey Tony - just came across this video and want to let you know how much us DIY guys (who are not mechanics but willing to give it a shot) appreciate these kind of vids. Awesome man. thanks.

Thanks for the video. I know you said there wasn't an easier way to do it, but do you think it would be possible to get the shroud out of the way without disconnecting the AC condenser lines? I'm assuming it would be miserable trying to do it because access would be really limited. I just don't have access to equipment to evacuate the system.

Hey Tony - Great videos for a new Elise owner like myself. Interesting to hear that it took you two guys about 20 minutes to take off the front clam. The Elise I just bought seems to be a mouse house - it sat for a while this past winter here in the Northeast, I'm finding more and more signs that the mice were pretty comfortably set up inside the car, and there's a pronounced smell of mouse urine (at least that's what I think it is) that I need to get rid off. How long would it take one guy to take off all of the dash pieces? I'm wondering because I think I need to take off both the front clam and the entire dash to do a full job of cleaning the car. Thanks

Are you in the dallas area? What kind of shop setup are you working with?
