Best guide for replacing opti?

Like the subject says does anybody know where i can find good instructions for replaceing my opti. I found the one on speedillusions or something like that and it seemed good. But i wanted to know if there are any other really good guides so i can compare them. Thanks.

it only took me a couple hrs my first time and i wasnt even in a big hurry. in fact the hardest part for me was dropping the damn fan assembly with all those hoses in the way!

i used both this week and had no problem, just a mess from the coolant, which i would drain from the block and rad. Better to refill all then to mess with extra **** coming out when not ready.

All in all, its all the info you need.

the first time i had mine replaced i payed for it to be done. dont remember what it cost but it was way to much. i just took mine off today and its not that bad. took me about 2 hrs to take it off taking my time. i dont see it being any harder to put back on so just take your time and remember how everything comes off. good luck

Yeah i guess i will use the guide on speedillusions. It seems like a good guide. I wanted to do it tomarrow but its gonna be raining probably. Hopefully not though. I will let you know how it goes.
