Hey guys is it hard to replace a radiator? Got a small leak on mine so i was just going to buy a used stock one for cheap and replace on my 90 twin turbo.

Why buy a used stock one? Odds are that if it's used that it's as bad or almost as bad as the leaky one that you have. Not to mention that you can buy a new replacement for the stocker for under a hundred dollars.

Oh, its not bad to replace. Go ahead and replace the hoses and thermostat(if it ran hot).

Pretty much any place that specializes in radiators will sell you one that cheap. When I priced them the average for a stock replacement was $90.
