How to install radiator?
I have a Fluidyne radiator sitting here but I haven't gotten around to installing it yet. Frankly, I'm not very confident in my abilities under the hood. This will be the first time I've done anything except check or add fluids. Is there anywhere that has a radiator swap for the FD broken down into to a step by step process? I searched the forum but didn't find much.

I'm not a great at mechanics myself, but I did manage to swap out a leaking radiator in a weekend. If you need helpm you can pm me or email me.
Basics:
remove airbox assembly and air hoses
remove battery and tray
remove intercooler, you have to gently bend the metal a/c hoses that connect to that can (the a/c dryer) to get everything you need out
disconnect and unbolt cooling fans
You should be looking at the radiator now
there will be little specific question you'll have.
