Default 07 wk is replacing the radiator hard?

my 07 wk with the 5.7l hemi has a coolant leak from the bottom right and left of the radiator. i just spent $500 on replacing an ac line.

is this a difficult job to do?
any special tools required?
how long would it take an amateur mechanic like myself?

if its straigh forward and I can do it in a weekend i may do that.
just cant shell out another $500 just yet. for now i will top it off.
its a real slow leak but she has 100k on her so it will need to be done eventually. thanks for the advice guys.

Well, it's pretty straight forward, but it ain't no piece of cake. A couple of six-packs and a lot of cussin' should take care of it. As far as special tools are concerned, you might need tubing wrenches for the trans cooling lines.
