Hello,

When you replace the radiator, make sure that the engine is cool before getting started.
You should be able to replace the radiator by using simple hand tools in a couple of hours.

First you want take the radiator cap off, then drain the radiator by using the drain spout at the bottom of the radiator.
This is help keep the coolant from going everywhere when you take off the hoses.

I have attached the diagrams for radiator replacement for your car.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
