Does anyone have a DIY for this.
I looked at the car today and it seems that it would be pretty simple, just take out a few bolts and remove the radiator hoses then lift it out.

The reason I ask is I need to replace the 2nd radiator fan which also looks fairly simple once I remove the radiator.

Also, when I take out the radiator hoses then put them on, will I be ok just adding more coolant?

drain it first, otherwise you will have a big mess, then just start removing bolts in order to pull it out.

you will be fine by adding coolant.

there is a white plastic plug on the bottom of the radiator...should be a cutout on the splash guard too for it, just turn it by hand and let it drain while the radiator cap is off so it flows faster

its just remove the two brackets that hold it from the top and disconnect all the hoses...easy
