Hard part is un-hooking the wires at the connectors for the fans. Be
sure to use a flare nut wrench on the cooler lines. Leave the lower hose
connected to the old radiator till you get it out. Take it loose at the
thermostat housing. Be VERY careful when reassembling the fans to the
new radiator. Some have soldered bolt connections that can break and
leak. I got my last one at Parts America. Lifetime guarentee, and it had
plastic brackets for the fan bolts. Worked fine for me. bob
