It looks easy on my civic (w/o air conditioning) but on my friend's car, I don't really understand it. He bought a C&R radiator yesterday, he has A/C on his 96 GSR. Can someone walk me through how to make this really easy, or the best way to do it? Jack car up? Take bumper off ?

I installed my C&R by myself. Just jack the front up so you can get to the drain plug. You will need to remove the bottom splash guard first before you can get to the drain plug. Its held on by 6-8 plastic bolts. Next drain all coolant. Remove hoses from existing radiator. Remove (2) top supports. Remove (2) fan electrical connectors. Pull out radiator. Installation of C&R is the reverse of removal. The C&R only comes with one fan and the harness mine came with didn't plug into my existing harness so I just spliced it up, and it works beautifully.

If you have any other questions just shoot me an email.

 

good info from tn but I'd also suggest getting a new thermo as well since your going to be draining the coolant anyway.
