I didn't use a write up. No huge roadblocks. It was fairly simple. Drain the coolant, remove the hoses and cooler lines from the radiator, remove the fans, remove the top of the core support, a couple of bolts and it's out. The tranny coupling was a little tricky. It has two little wings that need to be pushed in. I needed a fair amount of elbow grease though. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to hold in the wings and used my other hand to pull the line off.

There are a number of bolts holding the upper cross member in and the radiator is directly below the cross member. Remove both rad fans, hoses, tranny lines, etc. Bottom rad hose is much easier to remove/install when the air filter box is removed. The tranny lines have a "quick connect" so u need the "release tool" and it's available at most any auto parts store for a few bucks. Old rad just lifts straight up/out. New rad drops in making sure alignment pins find their holes. Make sure any parts/pieces on the old rad, that don't come with the new rad, get transferred to the new rad.....especially any rubber pads that keep the new rad from rubbing on hard mounting surfaces. ….....After double checking everything is back together correctly, hoses/lines re-attached, fans re-installed, etc., slowly fill the rad with 50/50 coolant/water mix until full. Leave the rad cap off and start the motor and let it idle. Turn the heater on. Keep the rad full while idling. When the motor reaches operating temp and the t-stat opens (may take 15-20 mins, top rad hose should get really hot), coolant/air will burp out of the rad. at that point, install a new rad cap. Test drive/check for leaks. For the next several days when the motor is COLD, check coolant level in both the recovery bottle and radiator. Add coolant as needed. When the motor is COLD, the rad should remain full to the top and the bottle should be +/-1/3 full, motor COLD. Hope this helps and good luck.
