What tools I need to remove a radiator on a 2000 mercury mountaineer?

The draincock shouldn't require any tools... you'll want a set of combination wrenches, a 3/8" drive ratchet, and 3/8" drive sockets. A set of 1/4" drive sockets would be good to keep on-hand, as well. You will need a container to keep the drained coolant in until it can be properly disposed of. You will also need tools to take the clamps off the coolant hoses... channel locks can work for this, or there are specific hose clamp tools made for particularly difficult to reach clamps... on a Mountaineer or Explorer, I don't recall any of those being particularly difficult to get to. A small slotted (flat head) screwdriver may be needed to (carefully) loosen to hoses to allow them to be separated from the radiator. When you're refilling the coolant after replacing your radiator, don't forget to 'burp' the cooling system, to remove any trapped air pockets after you refill it... basically, you keep the radiator cap off, and run the engine until it gets up to temp to open up the thermostat... you'll know this has happened once the car heater provides heat, rather than ambient temperature air. Sorry I can't recall the exact sizes offhand, as it's not a vehicle I work on very often. I might suggest you go to your local auto parts store and pick up a Chilton or Haynes manual for that vehicle, especially if you intend to work on it on your own regularly.

How do you install a CD player in a 97 Mercury Mountaineer with a power antenna?
You need to buy a set of Ford radio removal tools (about $5) they are "U" shaped. Push the 4 ends into the 4 holes on the front of the radio about 1" until it releases and then use the tools like handles to pull it out. On 2002 and earlier I think you have to remove some trim first. After pullling it out unplug the antenna and the harness and you are done

The '95 to '99 Doge and Plymouth Neon's have a radiator support that is held in by spot welds. You can purchase a spot weld removal kit at your local auto body shop, but it is a process. If you have some time on your hands and the tools to weld it back together you'll save alot of money. If you don't have the tools, or the know how, it's better just to pay a shop to do it.

You'll need a phillips-head screwdriver and a ratchet with a 10 mm socket. Drain the coolant, disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses, unplug the fans(on the drivers side), and remove the two 10 mm nuts to disengage the radiator hold-downs, then just lift and remove the radiator.
