Anybody have a DIY to replace the radiator? I have a pretty good idea how its done but a DIY would be a huge help. I think I saw one somewhere and did a search but couldn't find. Any help is appreciated

It's a pretty straightforward process. If you've done it on another car, you'll have no trouble. First you drain the radiator, next remove the upper and lower hoses. If it's an automatic transmission car, you need to disconnect the two ATF lines going into the trans cooler in the radiator. Make sure you have the right size tubing wrench for this or you can twist the lines and have real trouble. The attachment of the radiator itself is usually pretty simple. Installation is the reverse of removal. A factory shop manual or Haynes manual would be good to consult if you need more details, pictures. Just take it one step at a time and if you're in doubt about anything, consult someone on the board. Good luck!

 

other than teh 00-03 dont have trans cooler lines going to them.

While your at it you should find the block drain plug on the back side of the motor (by the intermediate half shaft) and drain the coolant out of the block as well to start with all new and fresh fluid. I would also use hondas 50/50 premix fluid
