[QUOTE="Smokinstang65, post: 16171356, member: 189801"] So, I tried my best to take as many pictures of the process as possible so hopefully this helps some of you looking to do this here in the future: Tools Required: 3/4" wrench 5/16" wrench 10mm wrench 1/4" Drive Ratchet Short & Long Extensions 10mm socket 5/16" socket Flat Blade Screw Driver Channel Locks [ATTACH=full]1564853[/ATTACH] Now I had already taken off the front bumper and the radiator cover. There are great videos on youtube showing how to do that. I couldn't begin to do that justice with my photos. 1) So here is what I was starting with, car was already up on jack stands. [ATTACH=full]1564862[/ATTACH] 2) Use a piece of 3/8" hose popped onto the nipple on the bottom left of the radiator and a bucket to catch coolant. Use a 3/4" wrench to open the stopcock and drain the coolant out of your radiator. Unscrew the lid on the coolant reservoir to make sure it drains quicker. Also, for this install, I already had the supercharger cooling system drained because I replaced the heat exchanger. It made life a lot easier. [ATTACH=full]1564864[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1564867[/ATTACH] 3) Once the system is drained, use a 5/16" deep socket on an extension, unscrew both the coolant reservoirs and move them out of the way. [ATTACH=full]1564865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1564866[/ATTACH] 4) Now I unplugged the ECU just to make more room for removing the radiator and installing the new one. Made things a lot easier. [ATTACH=full]1564868[/ATTACH] 5) Then I unplugged the radiator fan [ATTACH=full]1564869[/ATTACH] 6) Remove the two screws holding the fan to the radiator. One is kinda hidden just under the upper radiator hose. [ATTACH=full]1564870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1564871[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
