Removing radiator on third gen

[bell end billy]

How easy is it to remove the radiator on a third gen.????

The contents of the radiator have emptied themselves on the road (atf fluid and coolant) and i need to know if it is an easy job to take out the radiator so that i can take a look at it, or is it best left to a mechanic.

It's easy enough, remove the shroud first, then the hoses (block the ends of the transmission ones though) then the four bolts holding the rad to the body.

Yep, its pretty easy, as said above. Only thing to mention is that the 4 bolts are a slight pain to get at as they're accessed from the front of the car, through the grill. You're supposed to take the grill off, but I don't bother, it can be done with the right combination of socket extensions and UJ.
