Technical How easy is it to replace Radiator

[w00d1es]

My Wife decided to use a VW Golf to stop our Fiat Multipla 1.6, which at the time of the event she claimed no damage had been done to the car.
when I got home to find the Radiator slightly hanging out the bottom of the car and fluid on the floor and a hole in the rad where the bottom mounting pin would have been.
How difficult is it to remove and what tools will I require to replace with a new Radiator Car is a 2002 1.6 with air con.

Please can anyone advise.

Sorry to hear about the accident - I'm guessing the Golf came off worst?
Rad change is not too tricky - I've removed/ replaced 2, one on a roundnose and one on my squarenose.
The thing to check is the bracket that hold the bottom of the radiator in position. These are notorious for just dissolving into rust - leaving the radiator just suspended by its hoses. Make sure its intact and not bent or locating the rad into the rubber washer mounts in the bottom will be difficult

Best of luck!
