    Very easy to remove though undo the top and bottom bottom hose clamps and the trans cooler lines if auto.. disconect the fan if a V6, then there are clips on each side that can be removed, then pull the radiator upwards..

    first thing first is disconnect the bottom hose off the radiator (not the motor) let the fluid drain out then take the hose off the motor. then take the top hose off, unscrew the 2 gearbox lines and make sure they hang up unless you want auto trans fluid through you engine bay, disconnect the plug going from the fan and lift the power steering resiviour out then unscrew the 4bolts holding the fan in and lift it out. there are 2 clips on the side of the radiator i jimmy these out with a flat bladed screwdriver. also disconnect the overflow pipe from the side where you fill the radiator up. when you undo those clips on the side of the radiator it should just lift out easily. just when you replace the radiator make sure the 2 lugs on the bottom of the radiator sit in the holes in the frame..

    Don't forget to flush the system including the heater separate.
    Also check all the heater hoses and the thermostat bypass hose for replacement.
