Difficult? Not really, just tedious. Ramps or 2 jack stands will help because you do need to drain the radiator and remove 4 bottom bolts. I would get 2 new transmission line clamps if yours are rusty, and it leaks a cup of ATF when you disconnect the lower line.

The tedium is getting the top shroud disconnected, along with all of the junk mounted on the fan shroud. Then there are the two bolts that hold the radiator to the AC condenser together, and extension and swivel.

You can either lower the radiator or pull it up out of the engine bay. Most pull it up.

There are various write ups on Youtube, most are for the turbo which is more involved.

Remember to use Zerex G05 or Volvo branded antifreeze, along with distilled water.
