I am replacing my 10 year old leaking radiator, seemed to have worked fine until my last dealer visit for an oil change.
Guys, when you are putting in the new radiator there are two cylindrical cones on bottom that protrude from the radiator. They need to be inserted into the holes on the car where the radiator sits. I made a video of this but somehow it has disappeared on me :/.

Thank you for making video and sharing. I'm planning for flash coolant soon and who know may need to replace sometime in the future …
Thanks a ton, this was a great guide! Got 'er done all by myself…only problem I had was with those transmission pins(snaps). Since I pulled them off like a snap ring(in line with the channel they go in), I thought they went back on the same way. It's actually much easier, as you get one side in and then use a pick (or a little screwdriver, as I did) to snap the other side into the channel. Here's a vid showing that…

One other thing, at the top of each side of the shroud there is a little lever you squeeze to release the shroud from the radiator clips.
Thanks again!!!
This video helped me so much – getting the fan shroud on was hard as I was not able to do it myself. Everything else was pretty spot on – no issues. I needed someone to help guide the fan shroud down as there are two pins that need to seat on the bottom. Also, I took two pins out of each transmission line. When putting them back on I am only able to get one pin on. I even took 30 minutes with the old radiator on the ground trying to figure out how to get two pins on – impossible! I wonder if they come out of the factory like that? Well, I put one pin on each line and hope that is enough to hold it in place. No leaks so far. One last thing – I figured I would need a lot of transmission fluid to refill but I did not need any! I have checked the transmission fluid level several times and it is right on the mark – I guess I got lucky. Thanks for the video!
thanks i see you later sun
Thanks this will make my job a lot easier
