Default Replacing the radiator.

Hi,

I'm new here. I have a 2000 Malibu. It is acting up more and more. This time I have a leak from the bottom of the radiator. My question is, how big pain to replace that baby in real life? I find only one detailed youtube video about it.
I'm pretty handy with cars, I do everything on my BMW E30.

Unfortunately the radiator leaking. Thanks for the list. Seems a pain in the neck. But it has to be done.

not sure on your year...sometimes you can remove the rad without discharging the a/c. remove the condenser screws that bolt to the rad. push the rad down and condenser up to slide the lower condenser tabs out.
