I did the replacement on a 2011 9-3 sedan about a year ago. I put the front end of the car up on ramps and removed the radiator from the bottom after using a rope to support the A/C condenser and intercooler. I had to remove the front bumper cover which was not an issue. The hardest part was the two small Torx or Allen connections at the a/c filter dryer to the radiator. One was rusted. Be aware of new old stock radiators being old old stock, not freshly new. The first Nissens brand radiator I installed leaked intermittently within months and had to be replaced under warranty since it had a bad rubber seal from the plastic tank to the center core section. The second one has been fine since.
