I cheated and did mine while bringing it back from the dead. The entire radiator support was already just about out so I took advantage.

But like others have mentioned, just pull the radiator to give yourself some room and you'll be in business. Mine was out of florida with no rust on anything so it all came apart really easy. I've seen other T4R's that would require nothing less than a plasma cutter to get some stuff off so that plays a role too lol.

With regards to the crank holder, i'm a shade tree mechanic.. have never used one in my life, and since these cars have the bump start ignition you can't undo it with by jamming a breaker bar and bumping the starter. I opted to just jam some nylon rope into the #1 cylinder to lock it out. Work like a dream and gave me both hands on the breaker bar.

Other than that, if you turn wrenches regularly, it isn't half bad. I did both belts, water pump, all pulleys, all plugs and valve cover gaskets while I was at it.
