How does the radiator come out of one of these? auto data i have says how long it will take but not how to remove it.

is it as simple as remove hoses that are in the way, remove fans first, then push the buttons on the top and just lift rad out?

auto transmission fluid seems to go through the rad, do i just remove the pipes for that and tie out the way?


Edit

i found this guide http://www.thesaabsite.com/95/FAQ--heating-&-cooling-category--radiator-removal.html#linkbar not as good as FFers guides :(

typo in title it should say 9-5 :eek:

anyway jobs done was easy, new rad from euro car parts though has a few extra bits that needed cutting off, 1 if left would have cut a hole in the big pipe on intercooler, another extra bit stopped top transmision pipe going back on. and its missing a drain plug that is on the oem one.
