you will have to support engine for this i have found...next drain your coolant and undue hoses. remove font engine mount that is located near the trans and in front of starter...should look like a big circle...then loosen and remove the ac pump but do not remove the ac lines as this will evacuate the system and do so in a hurry....then there will be 2-3 holes in the upper core support leading to the upper radiator retaining mounts...remove the bolt and you should see the radiator "lean" forward making it accessible......depending on year or originality of the vehicle you will have transmission line to remove, if not then you can now lift out the radiator.
Look on the bottom or rear of radiator
The "radiator" cap is located on the coolant reservoir.

I installed a radiator in my wifes 2000 Dodge Stratus. What I done was buy a Hayes repair manuel. The air conditioning condensor is attached to the radiator . It was not a easy job for me but if you got smaller hands than me it mite not be so bad.
