Hi all, so at risk of sounding like an utter noob, I was wondering if anyone had a step by step guide or pics on how to swap the stock radiator with the Mishimoto one. I've never done this before and I would like to learn while also saving money on labor. Thanks!

Its actually very straight forward, you should only need a 10mm. I think the fan shroud is the toughest, especially if you don't take off the fan from the water pump.

The most difficult part is burping all the air out of the system after, spill free funnel or air lift help with this.
