VX? Just multi grips or vice grips to undo the hoses, some sockets or spanners to undo the bolts and hoses. Above the radiator the black strip will just come off with screwdrivers. Havent done it before so not sure if the fans need to come out?

yeah pretty simple, fans have to be unbolted and can be just pushed back from memory but its just as easly to unplug them n pull them out aswell makes it easier.

Have something ready to catch some of the transmission fluid that will come out off the radiator and transmission lines, about a litre or so. Don't over tighten the lines when you reconnect them, use 2 spanners, one for the nut on the transmission line and one on the fitting on the radiator to stop it from turning.
The radiator is held in by 2 clamps (one either side) at the top, easy enough to figure out how they are removed.
