How to Remove old cast iron radiator

03/30/2008 11:55 AM capsize

hi,

i have some radiators that I need to remove for remodeling, and Im looking for some help on how to get these things out.

here are some images of the connection pipes on both sides -- if anyone could guide me through the process i would appreciate it!

(i can rotate the big bolt in the middle, but i cant spin the bolts on the outtake pipe)

(i can spin the big bolt in the middle, and the mushroom cap spins to turn off the intake)

im guessing somehow that the intake / outtake pipes coming up from the floor should be able to rotate somehow, so that i can pull the radiator out (towards me, if i am facing the radiator as in the photos) but im not sure which bolts i am to be needing to loosen.

thanks!
