its a pretty stairht forward thing. drain the coolant and unbolt the fan and shroud. unbolt the radiator and then do the reverse when its goin back in.

10mm socket, wrench and pair of pliers to get the hose clips off. I find a large channel locks works well to rotate the hose after clamp is off to break it loose. You should be able to do it in about 45 min if it's your first time.
