Biggest hint is to remove the lower hose at the ENGINE, not at the
radiator. Unclip all the power connections for the fans, and leave the
fans on the radiator and pull it out as a unit. Transfer the parts to
the new one on a nice clean bench. Lay a towel or old blanket on the
bench before you start. Be careful with the bolts that hold the fan
housings to the radiator. If these bolts are over tightened, some
radiators can crack.
I got my replacement radiator at Parts America, and needed the free
lifetime replacement about four years later. Save your receipt.
Good luck! bob
