I found a video of how to replace the radiator. Which is a little helpful, but I’d like to know if I have to do it a certain way. As far as draining the coolant or do I have to plug the lines when I remove them off the radiator. Also, I’m having trouble finding anything on bleeding the air out once I have put the radiator back on. Thank you in advance.

It looks like a typical refill will work but they have a special tool they use which I have featured in the images below. Also added a link to a video that shows how to fill a typical cooling system that should help as well.
