Well, I was about to link you to the autozone website because they have good instructions under their Repair Info section, but the site is currently down.

Basically, remove the upper radiator hose and the lower radiator hose from the radiator. Make sure the coolant is drained first though. Then disconnect the smaller transmission fluid hoses (if applicable). These smaller hoses contain red fluid if you have an automatic. They run transmission fluid to the radiator for cooling. Then you unbolt the bolts holding the radiator to the car. You may also have to disconnect the wires that power the fans. These fans are often connected to the radiator.

For more details check the autozone website.
