Does anyone have a DIY or Repair PDF on replacing the radiator ?
Thanks in advance for the info.

Im doing mine on saturday. I will post some pics and let you know how it was. Shouldnt be too bad, just have to move allot to get to the four bolts that hold it in the car.

See attached PDF....

If you're going to do it yourself I would definintly buy a remote clamp removal tool. It's hard to get to the bottom clamp even when underneath the engine bay.

Defiantly good advice. I had to use a small set of Chanel Locks, hold the clamp so it was spread out and put a zip tie on the chanel locks then when I got the clamp in position snip the zip tie.

The whole install went pretty easy with basic tools. Also make sure you have about 18" worth of extensions to get to the bottom bolts that hold the radiator. They also need to be backed up with a wrench. Overall with a coolant flush took me about two hours.

how much tranny fluid do you lose when you lift the lines off?

MichaelD86

Almost none, It all drained back into the tranny. I would say it was maybe 2 to 3 ounces at most. If you don't need to do a flush it only takes about a gallon and a half of coolant to fill it back up.

That looks pretty simple. I really appreciate the diagrams for the exchange. Thanks so much.
