Not that hard at all except for the 6 7mm screws in the nose. Get a flat ratchet wrench with some electric tape to help hold some of them. Just pull the top shroud off and the hoses. Good time to pull your knocks and flush it right.

Any problem to replace radiator, just remove upper shell and some bolts....

Take in consideration to buy two main hoses, it is possible that you will not be able to remove them from old rad cause they are sticked on.

Make a good flush too

If you don't get every last drop out of the old and clean it out very well your wish you never have. Green and dex does not mix at all and will cause a big headache if your not carefull. I would keep what you have
