1. Take it to a mechanic
2. Get he/she to install
3. Pay for it
4. Drive away

Installing a radiator is easy to screw up if you don't know what your doing.

I've changed out a few radiators over the years.

Its not too hard. This is a good time to flush the engine, change thermostat and to change out all radiator & heater hoses.

Disconnect your hoses.

Disconnect the transmission cooling lines if you have them.

Remove the top hold down bolts, hardware.

Lift the radiator out from the top. It should be rubber mounted in the bottom.

Replace the hoses and clamps if needed.

You may need to remove the fan for more room. Be carefull not to hit the radiator on anything and cause a leak.
