Didn't come with vehicle specific instructions so here ya go. My instructions lol.
Mishimoto 52mm dual core aluminum radiator.
Tools I used: All kinds of plyers, flat-tip screwdriver, 8,10mm sockets, wrench 4 inch extension, 8mm racheting wrench, 2 hands, and elbow grease. Oh and a drain pan for the coolant.
First off, disconnect negative battery terminal. Jacked up the front end and set her on jackstands.
Remove interference(intake, radiator cover, platic cover underneath bumper)
6 plastic screws hold on the radiator cover, I used a flattip screwdriver to lift up and pull them out
Remove the plastic guard under the radiator I used plyers to remove these little bolt/screws
Next I drained the coolant, I used an allen wrench to remove the drain plug or "pet ****"
Crack open the coolant cap on the resevoir to act as a vent and adjust the drain rate
Squeeze the coolant hoses to drain excess coolant
Remove the samll hose going from the top of the radiator the coolant resevoir tank
Remove the power steering fluid and coolant tanks, from the fan shroud
Remove the upper/large coolant hose, I used plyers and a screwdrive to remove the clamps
Tuck the hose out of the way.
Disconnect the fan power cable
Remove the lower/large coolant hose from the radiator
There are 2 plates on top that hold the radiator in place, remove the 4 bolts to take these off.
There are 2 bolts on each side at the bottom of the radiator, remove them
Its almost out, 2 more bolts on the top foward of the radiator, i used a racheting wrench for these
Now the radiator is completely unbolted, pull her out, becareful not to damge anything.
