The radiator is a straight forward job. First, disconnect the neg battery terminal. After that, drain the coolant from the radiator and remove both the upper and lower radiator hoses. Please note, coolant needs to be recycled and should not be allowed to drain onto the ground. After that, remove the fan shroud, the two upper retaining bolts from the radiator support, the transmission lines and any aux cooling systems that may be attached to the radiator. The radiator should pull out at this point.

Reverse the sequence to replace.
