I have to have mine replaced also... from what I heard it is way easier to get to when the radiator is removed. At least that is what my mechanic buddy tells me... He has done more work to that car than the stupid dealership... I hope it helps!!!

No need to remove radiator. Need to have vehicle raised most work done from under then lower and complete removal.
