Hi I got a 2002 Grand Am with a 3.4 L V6 with about 340,000kms and I got a coolant leak on the rad tank. I bought a new radiator and was wondering what the easiest way to remove the old one?

Hey Iroc,

There is two way to go about this job one is by the book in which case they want you to remove the ac condenser along with the radiator which you will need to vacuum down the ac or, you can sneak in there and unbolt the condenser from the radiator while you are removing it.

Here are a couple of guides that will let you know what you are in for when doing this job.
