Book says: read warning about antifreeze 1. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. 2. Drain the cooling system. 3. Remove the cooling fan 4. Detach the radiator hoses from radiator, disconnect coolant recovery hose, oil cooler lines and automatic transaxle models, disconnect and plug the fluid cooler lines. 5. On ac models, remove the condenser line retaining clips and the condenser-to-radiator mounting bolts. 6. Remove the radiator mounting bolts and lift from engine compartment. If new, transfer fittings from old unit. 7 Installation is the reverse of removal. After reconnect all hoses and lines, refill with proper coolant mixter and the start engine to test for leaks.

∙ 15y agoThis one is actually not that tricky. It is ideal to consider replacing the hoses while you are doing this replacement, in addition to using a steel brush to clean up the pullies of the serpentine belt system too. Certainly, you will spend a little more time with that - but it seemed worth the effort. RE: radiator replacement - first drain the current radiator - the plug in on the lower left side of the radiator. Once you have completed that and the hood has been lifted, there are four (or six) screws that hold the radiator on the top plate above the radiator itself. Unscrew these and set aside for reinstalling the top plate later. Once unscrewed, lift the plate off and then you are looking at the top of the radiator. Next, there are two hoses that connect to the radiator - one on the top left (as you are facing the engine) and the other is on the bottom right. Disconnect the clamps and hoses from the connections to the radiator. Check the condition of your clamps - if they are in poor condition, invest the few dollars in new ones to prevent a headache later. When both the top plate and the hoses have been removed from the radiator, it can then be lifted up and taken out of the engine area. This is the time when the serpentine belt becomes visible and the pulleys available to clean while in an unobstructed state. Now, you are able to reverse the process and place the new radiator in, reattaching the hoses and then the top plate and screws secure it the rest of the way. Of course, lastly - refill with coolant/water mixture. That's it!

∙ 10y agoThis is one of the few things on these great vehicles that is a hell of a pain to remove, and even MORE fun to install! ;) The routing of the wiring to the electric fan is a wonder of engineering. [sarcasm]
My advice here is to take advantage of this cars strong point, which is really easy maintenance, and put the money you save towards letting a good shop or the dealership handle this repair.
