anyone have any tips on taking out old radiator and installing new one?

where is thermostat on this thing?

Looks simple but wanted to know if there are any "hidden" problems or special tools needed?

I have replaced radiators in other cars without problems?

Thanks,

Here's some links.... first one kinda shows the thermostat and gives a detailed explanation of how to change it (cause it's really complicated ).

Chiltons may have a better pictorial representation... I don't know. Your local library probably has a copy.

 

thanks for the reply...question?...I have heard that the thermostat in on lower hose...do you know anything about that?

 

yes this weird f22 has the thermostat on the lower radiator hose. I was pretty shocked too.

 

It's a pretty easy job. I just replaced the radiator on my 92' Accord Lx without any special tools or techniques. Just don't mix up the atf cooler hoses. Other than that, it's straight forward.
