Radiator Installation?

Have a 91 GXE that needs a new radiator. Is this a home mechanic job or dealership? Any timeframe as to how long and what tools I would need?

Thanks,

tmc

replaced mine on monday

took me 15 min, just 4 hoses and two 10 mm screws on top ,make sure you get a qt. of tranny fluid cause you are going to lose about that much.

Tranny fluid? I wasn't aware that the tranny lines lead thru the radiator... Or was that a typo?

yeah when I installed mine in my 5spd, I got one out of an auto, and there is an stock tranny cooler built in, I just plugged the holes, with some expoxy, it pretty easy, just make sure when you take the bottom pipe off you get something to collect the anitfreeze, I though all of mine was out, but I ended up with alot of anti freeze on me.
