I too will soon be experiencing replacing my radiator for the first time, oh the joy. Anyway, i feel i am more than capable to do such a project espeacially with some help offered above. Just wondering how to drain the coolant? NOt that there's much left in there anyway since i have a crack bigger than the grand canyon in it. I was also told to MAKE SURE there was no air in it before puting the cap on...how much time does it have to run open and idle before this is acomplished? And, although this may sound dumb, i do put the coolant in and then run it idle to get the air our right? Please someone help soon as I am trying to replace it before work ends so i can get home
