Radiator Help!!!!

[MercNasty]

How hard is it to take the radiator out? I need to see why mine is leaking like crazy, I put some water in the reservoir turn the car on and cut the heat on high, looked under the car and water was leaking from the side and thru one of the fins like a water faucet. I can get a new radiator for $75 but i want to make sure the radiator is the problem before i buy it, but i want to pull it out first to see what going on behind it. Please help.

very easy should take about 45 mins and about three hours to bleed the air out

Drain the radiator, remove all the hoses, separate the fan/shroud assembly, remove any retain screws or brackets, pull radiator out.

Tape a piece of cardboard (that will cover the back of the radiator) to the side facing the fan to prevent any damage to the fins when installing.

Search for the "burp" procedure to get all the air out of the system when refilling.

Should take you 1 hr tops.

FBM always makes it sound so easy, you are usually right on, so i will give it a crack tomorrow, i hope it nothing major.
