Greasing the front shocks

I learnt a lot by watching on-line videos and wanted to grease the front shocks. I jack lifted from the front (after watching the video).
Screwup - Radiator pushed up
Apparently, it slipped and settled down putting the entire weight on the radiator. It was pushed up by about 2 inches. Looks like radiator was pushed up enough to touch the hood; and had to push the hood hard to close the hood properly.

I was lucked out this time also - no major damage and no leaks from the hood. Temp gauge didn't go beyond 70%, which was same as before this mishap.  Whew...

Greasing went fine on both the front shocks, which improved handling quite a bit. I'm quite impressed with the improvement.
