How do you change a car radiator?

My honda crx radiator is leaking a little bit. I am going to order a direct oem replacement. Is it as simple as draining the coolant, taking the old one off, and putting the new one in? then just topping off on coolant? There are only 2 brackets holding it on.How do you change a car radiator?
Not all that easy, there should be at least 4 bolts holding it on. Those bolts may also be holding other parts in place as well, like electrical earths for the headlights. If you don't know exactly what you're doing it is best to go to a mechanicHow do you change a car radiator?
yes pretty much, make sure you idle the motor for about a minute after replacement to allow the system to cycle the fluid through it....you will see bubbles just add more fluid
