removing radiator
 
Iam going to be removing the radiator soon, I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some tips on removing, (exactly how to) and things like that. Thanks in advance, chris

No tips. Maybe just - remove the fans first.

It is obvious once you start.

Just remove it!

I drive the car up on 6" blocks so that the Tranny fluid does not drain. Disconnect the hose to the over flow bottle. Drain the raditor by removing the bottom hose at the radiator. The fans can stay attached to the radiator just disconnect the wire connectors. Plug the trans hoses so nothing gets in. Do not leave the coolant system drained down for long if possible. Used distilled water when you fill it up with coolant. No solids in distilled water.

You mat want some new tranny hose and clamps before you start and coolant hoses and clamps.

Undo the fan wiring
disconnect the top and bottom hoses
remove the 4 little bolts at the top(2 on each side)
slide radiator up and out of car

takes about 5 minutes
