You will need a flat head screw driver and a ratchet. First, unscrew the engine fan cover then unscrew the radiator hose. It will be 5 total, the one on the nose, the right side and the one on the left. You should be able to take that off with your hand but make sure your engine coolant tank is empty. Get an empty container and drain it. Unscrew the two screws under the radiator cap and make sure the twp engine fan cover screws on the bottom are removed. Remove the hose off the bottom left side. Make sure your radiator is drained then pull it out.
