Ford 4500 radiator

So the old radiator is toast......good grief getting the two nuts off that hold it in place is a bear! Anyone know the size of that nut? Very hard for a rank amatuer mechanic to get a wrench on it.

Here's the diagram for 4500 radiator and associated parts. Bolt and nut sizes are shown.

The nut should be 5/8 wrench size
4500 uses same size radiator as 5000 model

Thanks all...watched someone take it off a 4500 model that is slightly different/later..was able to use a ratchet...dont think I have clearance for that!
