I replaced the radiator in my 2001 PT Cruiser myself. Since I had never done it before on this car, it took me about 4 hours. Putting the new one in was easier than taking it out, because I knew what to expect. I took my time since I wasn't in a hurry. I'm not a mechanic, I'm a fifty year old woman who teaches tennis for a living. I often do my own car repairs if possible. If you have access to the proper tools, opt for doing the work yourself. It's not rocket science.
Less than an hour.
No, you do not have to remove the engine to replace a radiator hose.No, you do not have to remove the engine to replace a radiator hose.
It is inside the fuel tank, an experienced mechanic can replace it in about 2 hours.
If you have a 4-cylinder, about 20 minutes. 90 minutes if you have the V6.
Mine needed to be replaced after 10 years $$$$$
Take out the olod radiator, put in the new one and done
20 Minutes tops. Empty antifreeze from radiator, take 4 small bolts from the fan cover that is attached to the radiator and scoot it towards the engine, loosen top and buttom hose off radiator, take 2 maybe 4 bolts holding the radiator to the front off and pull the radiator straight up!

No you do not.
That depends on how well you take care of it.
You take off the hoses and do it.
A radiator shop will do that for you. Don't try to do it yourself. Most radiator shops don't charge that much if you take the radiator out yourself.
