never installed one,but from lookin at the diagrams and reading forum after forum bout it,i would say 7 out of 10,10 being the hardest

 

Its not hard at all. The worst part is getting those dam pinch rings off the hoses. Search the how to's and you will find the answers. Here is a schematic for you to follow. It is for a cobra H/E but the principles are the same.

 

I've read that some people fill the HE with coolant before installing it to help with the bleeding process. I would try and fill everything possible when installing just to make it easier .

i have that picture saved onto my computer for when im ready to install mine,but this weather is GAY

 

Yeh, I was bored one night and I was going to install mine the next day so I did that up in word and took the instructions from the Haynes manual for bleeding. The only thing that I could not find was the bleed screw on the passenger side of the I/C. There is a screw on top but it is hard to get out so I did not take it out. I just filled the I/C once the install was done and started the car. Once the fluid started to circulate I just kept adding to it. it took a couple of days to fully bleed the system but she's all good now.

 

on the stock i/c?
