Doing a radiator is somewhat challenging. Take out the battery and tray for better access. I also removed the rubber boot on the MAF. The hardest part is negotiating the radiator past the trans cooler lines. There's a screw and clip for the lines that's below the radiator and it can be a bugger to finagle. I had to leave it for a while and go have a chat with myself. Those despicable spring clamps on the hoses are a pain. Use needle nose vise grips to remove them. I replaced them with Porsche style band type radiator clamps that have NO perforations but only ridges to engage the tightening screws. The whole job including T-stat and hoses took me 4 hours. The cost was around $275 w/ parts from eEuro.
A job I'm fretting over this summer is the coolant pump, belt, pulley, and tensioner.
