once the pass side fan is removed u can unbolt the drivers side one and unplug it like the last. at this point if you havent drained your coolant you can do so by either removing the lower radiator hose that attaches to the motor or opening the little white "pet****" at the bottom of the radiator. remove the upper radiator hose and also the hose with the filler cap attached. remove the fan.


once drained you can lift the radiator straight up out of the car. i left the lower rad hose attached to the radiator so if any coolant was left in the rad it wouldnt spill all over the place while i was removing it. the arrow on the right and circle all the way to the left are the rubber grommets that need to be reused. also circled was the white "pet****" for reference, the temp sensor which needs to be reused, and the rad hose clamps that will be reused.

the circled sections are where you place the rubber grommets. i found it easier to set them into the holes first because they didnt wanna stay on the radiators "feet".


install new lower radiator hose onto the radiator with clamps and lower the radiator into its grommets in the car. attached lower rad hose to engine and slide clamp back into place using pliers.


plug temp sensor back in and attach wire harness holder to lower rad tab. put drivers side fan back in setting the lower "feet" into radiator tabs and rebolt with 10mm bolts at top. connect all necessary plugs and holders to fan. attach upper radiator hose using factory clamps also. attach short hose with filler cap back on also. on a note i could not get the factory clamp to fit on the hose at the rad side so i used a standard spiral clamp. put passenger side fan back into place with "feet" in the lower tabs, 2 10mm bolts in the top and all necessary wiring plugged back in.

set crossmember back into place. attach upper radiator supports (circled) with 10mm bolts.


reinstall all other 10mm bolts for the crossmember and the hood latch mechanism


install upper shroud in reverse order by setting it on the latch mechanism through the hole then setting it into the upper grille and dropped into place. install all remaining push pins.

refill radiator with coolant until its full. install cap. run the car to bring it upto a few bars on temp. let it cool down a few mins. the few mins your waiting start wiping things down and clean up your tools and box up your old radiator and hoses for safe keeping. the car should be cool enough at this point for you to check your coolant level.. useing a rag, place the rag on the cap and turn it slowly to release pressure. some coolant could spray out so watch your eyes when doing this. mine was cool enough to where i opened it i just had some air pressure release. top off coolant as necessary. wipe up any spilled coolant and enjoy your hard work!

NOTE: i am not responsible for any blinding, death, dismemberment, and or anything else bad that happens to you while doing this install :SHOCKED:
