i didn't need to take the fans off. just take the hoses off, and the electrical plugs off, and unbolt it, and the pull the thing out, if your doing it becasue its broken, just pull the freaken thing out.

if it is an automatic, it will have 2 oil lines to cool the tranny. I have a automatic radioter in my manual car, just left the lines open. No biggie.

usually they will disconnect one rad hose hook it to a machine in between the rad and hose and power flush it

or if you want to do it your self

1. open rad cap (car must be cold)
2. drain coolant and tighten bolt
3. add distilled water and power flush (prestone works nicely)
4. after following flush instructions, drain flush solution from system
5. open drain plug on bottom of block to drain out ALL reminants of coolant flush
6. tighten drain plug and rad and block
7. fill with distilled water run for a few mins to get any remaining crap out
8. drain via rad plug and engine block plug
9. retighten all drin plugs
10 fill with recommended mix of coolant / water (usually 60/40)
