1990 Toyota Tercel - Mileage: 182,000. How can I replace the lower bowl (radiator tank) on my radiator? Is there a special crimping tool?

Yes, there is a special crimping tool to replace the radiator tank, but it is not a job for an inexperienced person to try. In view of the fact that your car is 14 years old, we high recommend you replace the entire radiator assuming it is 14 years old. This will save you a lot of frustration.
