    What sort of trouble are you having removing it, you have to remove it to replace it!

    I've got all 3 manuals - Haynes, Ellerys and Gregorys and I've found the Gregorys one to be the best...but that's just my opinion.
    Re removing the rad - just remove top and bottom hoses, remove bolts attaching fan and shroud to rad, remove transmission cooler lines and remove the spring clips on either side of the rad - squeeze them in....then just lift the radiator straight up.
