* Drain the coolant and dispose of it properly. (there are companies that will recycle used ethylene glycol coolant) * Disconnect the two large radiator hoses. * Remove the fan shroud from the radiator. * Remove the two retaining brackets at the top of the radiator. OBSERVE THE RUBBER MOUNTING PADS! Don't throw them away! * The radiator should lift straight up once the retaining brackets are removed. Again, keep track of the two LOWER mounting pads. You'll need them later. * Verify that the mounting pads are in good condition and that you have all 4. Replace any that are missing or damaged. * Put the NEW radiator in place using the mounting pads and tighten down the retaining brackets. Reattach the fan shroud and radiator hoses. Fill the cooling system with appropriate coolant.
