drain coolant AFTER LETTING YOUR CAR COOL DOWN. Then disconnect radiator hoses, fan, upper brackets, slide out. Transfer fan onto new radiator or install new fan if you bought one...

Best of luck :/

Your kidding me right? Unbolt the 4 bolts on top, disconnect hoses, transfer fans, and do the same in reverse order. Important!!!!!!! MAKE SURE THAT YOU TRANSFER THE COOLANT BY MOUTH TO THE NEW RADIATOR!!!! :/

BTW buy new coolant.

1 gallon of antifreeze + 1 gallon of distilled water = 2 gallons of coolant
