[steveo825]

hey
after discovering 3 leaks in my mr2 over the weekend, and fixed 2 of them. i need to replace my radiator.

is there an easy way to remove the rad? do i need to remove the front bumper?

thankss

its quite an easy job really, the hardest part due to lack of room is getting the hoses and clips on/off
beleive it or not there are only 2 bolts holding your rad in place - the 2 clamps you will see under the panel above your rad + 3 bolts per fan

No you dont need to remove the bumper, undo the top bolts and drop it down behind the bumper. Prepare for cut knuckles, the hoses are a pain to get off!

rad replaced and still have a leak coming from back off car. one of the heater pipes. doh.
