Default How hard is it to replace a radiator?

Mine is leaking and I think I may need a new one. How difficult of a job is it? Any cheap recommendations for a new one? Thanks.

Is all metal better than the OEM one?

It should'nt be that hard just disconnect all the hoses and remove the radiator mounting bolts it should come right off and then swap the fan onto the new radiator.

it shouldn't be that hard...just disconnect like two major hoses...and unbolt the riadiator.....but if your not sure and you want to work on your own car. I highly recommend getting a helms manual..It'll help alot..

Basic tools and common sockets required, and having some pliers might help removing some hose clamps. Remember to disconnect the fans before you pull the radiator out too. And always double check everything when putting it all back together, other than that, its a plug n play part.
