I just had something go through my radiator and I need to replace it. Before I go and rip out the old radiator, I just wanted to know if anyone had a "How to". It doesn't look to hard, but I didn't want to end up getting suprised after I start the job. Thanks!

Just drain the coolant, remove the hoses, remove the fans, remove the bolts, and then pull the radiator out. Replace with new one and you are done.

There are no surprises at all; it is completely straightforward.
