If you did the mods in your sig; This should be a breeze! Really it is very easy........take 3 bolts out of the top plastic piece that holds it on and slide it out. That's a VERY hard job to screw up.

You need to drain all the coolant. Disconnect all hoses going into the Radiator. Take off the Radiator shroud. Get a friend to hlep you unclip the radiator from the A/C Condensor. Remove old rad. INstall new rad. Hook up all the hoses. Replace the coolant. And finally, just bleed the system.

Good luck, it is very easy

I did it by myself. Its easy. Drain all the coolant from the radiator and the block. I only took out the knock sensor and didnt bother with the driver's side drain. Remove and replace...all there is to it.
