leaky radiator
Not terrible. Ive done it at night before(changed the radiator 3 times).
Basically:
remove the splash guard
drain the system
remove upper hose(replace the hoses if you do it, its easier)
remove the fans
remove any connections on the radiator(trans lines and temp sending sensor)
remove the two brackets holding in the radiator
remove lower hose
pull it out
be careful putting the new one back in so you dont damage it. there are nubs that stick out that will screw up the cooling fins.
This isnt meant to be a complete write up. If you plan on doing it yourself i recommend you download the service manual for the RL. Itll give you detailed step by step instructions.
