Tell us what year so you don't get a lot of advice that doesn't fit your car.

don't know about '84 but on the '95, it's a bitch.

There are three screws on either side that you can't access too easily, but other than that, it isn't that hard.

I have helped pull one in an 84 before and also I pulled mine today in my 96. It's not that bad... just take it easy and in a hour it will be out... just watch out for the ac hoses and you will be fine... get the fan undone and I will pull that out first... there was alot of build up in mine so it might even help your car run cooler... I'd say give it a shoot.

I pulled my 85's rad and you only need to pull off the top plastic cover and lift it out, on an 85 it is easy
