It was a pretty easy job to do. It took about 4 hours to do the whole thing. But I do have a lift at home so that makes life a bunch easier. I basically installed everything on my original list less a few O-rings and clips that came with the CSF radiators. I followed the directions like in the video posted above. The vacuum tool recommended works well. But I still needed to drive up and down some steep hills to get the air pockets out.

Please let me know if you have any specific questions.

Hey Gunther,

I'm in the process of replacing my radiators with the CSF replacements. Tackled the left and right today with no issues, was hoping to finish up the center tomorrow. Was hoping to find some instructions for the center, so I could look them over before I started. I found a thread that mentioned something about having to drill out rivets in order to replace the center radiator, true? if you have any tips or feedback on the center, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hey Bear, I replied in your other thread about the clips. I did have to drill one rivet to get the shroud off the old radiator. The other two had failed. I riveted the old shroud on the new radiator. Everything was pretty easy and straight forward. I hope it went well.

I got busy last weekend, will likely tackle the center this weekend likely, I do not have a rivet tool, not something I've used before. I will see what's available on Amazon.
