Guest Nero1701 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Imo,Id probably drain the cooling system, remove the whole front bumper and go from there. Link to post Share on other sites
johnym26 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 If you also have an AC radiator its a little bit tricky because it is mounted in front of the rad you want to replace. If not, its one and a half hour job max.Easy Link to post Share on other sites
ingham 5 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 best tip is get a quote from a radiator specialist, as they can supply and fit cheaper than you can buy one for , most of the time , worth a try Link to post Share on other sites
