It is difficult to replace a radiator? While it it not leaking now it has leaked in the past. I am not sure why it is not leaking now.

Hi there

The radiator is not that hard to remove, but if it is not causing a problem, why replace it. But if you do you will have to remove the cooling fans (two if A/C fitted) drain the system, remover the hoses and undo the top radiator mounts and trans cooling lines if auto. the radiator is located on two rummer mounts at the bottom and the radiator will just lift clear.
