Of course you know to drain 1st. From under car, remove sheild if applicable. Unplug fan connectors from rad. fans. If there are bolts on bottom of fans, remove them. {some have tabs that go into slots, not bolts.}. From top, remove bollts from fan mounts, remove fans. If you have a/c, you have 2 fans, if no a/c, 1 fan. Disconnect upper & lower rad. hoses from rad. . Remove bolts from rad. mounts, then pull radiator. Ck. & make sure all disconnected in case I forgot something. Before refilling, look towards firewall, I think near t-stat, a nipple w/hole in center, use a 12 mm socket & loosen nipple, when system is full, coolant will come out. Listen & watch to insure all air out, then tighten nipple. Fill overflow bottle, road test to operating temp. , & recheck overflow. If no coolant comes out of nipple when refilling, take it out & clean it, it is plugged. Then reinstall.
ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WORK WHEN DONE ! IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MIN., COMPARED TO HOURS OF UNNESSASARY REPAIR IF YOU FORGET TO TIGHTEN A HOSE OR OTHER COMPONENTS.
