Ok so i hit a giant racoon and now my radiator is leaking, so i have radiator stop leak in it and its been holding tight for the last week or two. I went to get an estimate since i have a 500 dollar deductable and its gonna be 400 to fix it. i said **** that. I ordered a radiator off ebay for 100 bucks got it and now i just need to...well change it...I have access to every single tool in the book and a lift, (Yay for Military Hobby Shops) from what i have been told its just put it on the lift, take out the 4 bolts, the 2 hoses and pull it out through the bottom, then bolt hte new one in and put the hoses on.

Anyone have anymore info on this or is that prtty much it...I gotta do it this week because its startin to get in the 60's here, and im runnin water in it right now so if it drops below freezing car will be undriveable...

 

I just changed mine this Friday. Its actually pretty easy. To make it easier remove the entire front clip of the car. Once the front clip is removed there are 2 10 mm bolts holding the AC condenser and another 2 holding the intercooler. Remove the 2 hoses that are connected to the rad (this could be messy) lift it straight up and that is basicly it.

I hope this helps.

 

awesome thanks for the tips!

 

yea it should be pretty easy...u should have no problem
