I hope u are lucky enough to have some metric sockets so it will make it easier. When I changed mine, the only thing I had available was an adjustable wrench.
It was not easy to do, but I finished it. I will reply to you again once I can look at it and walk my way through what I did. Hey, thank you so much for getting back to me, I really appreciate it. Wow, that must have been hard with just the wrench, but it's good you got it done. I'm working it right in and down. You got to put the radiator back this way and it's in place.
Get these bolts in. Just start it a few turns, okay, that way if it's not in correctly up to the bottom, you can still move it around a little bit. Now we're going to take the radiator, make sure it's all centered and it's cushioned. When I say it's cushioned, I mean down here looking through the bottom, here's the mount and then there's a cushion in the radiator, the two mounts, there's a cushion in the radiator that goes down to these mounts.
You just want to shake the radiator back and forth to make sure that your radiator's down in those mounts. Okay, once you have that done, you can put your brackets back on top and start your bolts in and then tighten them up I'll get into a little fast forward here so that we can get through this.
Okay, so I've got my, sitting down on here, I can tighten up this bolt. Since we're all set at the top, I'll set it right up.
Okay, then we'll plug in our lead for the fan and if your car has it, this car doesn't, there's another bolt that goes in right here. We'll put this back up in place.
Okay, I'm just kind of fast forward the hysteria from watching me struggle with this thing but it's just putting in the push pins and a few bolts, four to five that I have in my car but your car should have seven or eight.
Okay, once you get it all done in the bottom, you got to tighten these bolts at the top and everything is all set. We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.

If the circuit is fine, then the fan could be burnt out. If the fuse keeps blowing then your fan is shorting out. Use an 8 mm wrench to disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove the seven 10 mm bolts and the push clips.
To remove the push clips, pry up the center with a flat blade screwdriver and that will release the body of the pin. Unbolt the 10 mm bolt using your socket and ratchet anchoring the radiator fan. Unclip the wiring harness connection to the radiator fan. Unbolt the four bolts anchoring the radiator. Remove the radiator fan, using the play in the radiator to work the fan out of the engine bay. Unfasten the clips or screws that connect the cooling fan to the radiator and connect them to the new radiator.
Install the new radiator and reconnect all engine components in the reverse order in which they were removed. Open the valve on the thermostat housing a half turn, and set the heater to the "Full Hot" position. Fill the new radiator with a mixture of half engine coolant and half distilled water, squeezing the hoses to force out air.
Once you see a steady stream of coolant, close the valve. Put the radiator cap on very loosely and start the engine. Allow it to run a few minutes, then turn it off and top off the engine coolant, if necessary. Put the radiator cap on securely. Be environmentally friendly and reuse engine coolant if it isn't too old or contaminated. If you choose not to reuse it, take it to a garage or hazardous waste facility where it can be disposed of properly.
