I did it in several days - about 2 hours to remove the cooling fan, draining coolant, radiator hoses, tranny hoses and radiator itself. It took about 1 hour to put everything back. I took it very easy when doing the replacement.

There are 4 bolts in all 4 corners of the radiator, the upper 2 were very difficult to remove. You need a 10mm (1/4") swivel socket with 1/4" extension to unscrew them. They are hidden next to the headlight unit. Also, make sure that you tight the condensor to the front of the car body or support it from below before you remove all 4 corners bolts of the radiator. It is because condensor and radiator are bolted together as 1 piece by those 4 corner bolts. If the condensor isn't supported it will fall down right away when those 4 bolts are removed.

I used new tranny clips/o-rings when connected the tranny hoses back to the new radiator. I used new screws/bolts/clips for radiator and cooling fan. After 7 years, most of the screws/bolts were rusted!!!

Hope this help.
