Thanks! Was super helpful for giving the general guide and explaining possible problems that can be encountered. I ended up removing the hood latches on both sides and pushed out locking cables since I hate messing with those plastic connectors (always break them) I did this on QX70 and it seems like hard line geometry was slightly changed (or could be just variance on each car) and that made it super hard to move the condenser enough on the driver's side...first to remove radiator and then even bigger pain in the ass when placing it back. I placed a rag between hard line and interior of engine bay frame that it was rubbing against and also figured out that if you place hand in the bumper opening at the bottom you can grab the condenser and move/wiggle it around while wiggling radiator from the top and that seems to have finally worked and radiator dropped in place (before that it kept getting stuck on top of condenser's plastic clip at the bottom, on driver side). Also removed the horn to get some extra space on the passenger side for condenser movement. When I transfered rubber feet to new rad they were loose...used a piece of plastic bag as a shim so that they stay on the rad when dropping in. Tapped out for tonight and will connect all the lines tomorrow and see how it goes ...hopefully will not have to do a second time 😂.
There's a few things holding on to it. The hard lines. And the Noz zle that connects to the hose those things have to be loosened or removed. Check the video again something is holding you back from the process.
Thanks man! Absolute lifesaver!
Best guide I've found for the radiator replacement. Thank you my friend. Stay Blessed!
Thank you my friend. Very detail oriented.
This was so helpful! I’m in the midst of removal and going smoothly thanks to your guidance.
How did you install go? I'm going to try mine tomorrow if it doesn't rain.
No nonsense
Good information
Thank you general
Very helpful video. 👍 Thank you.

Awesome video! Thankyou
Thank you very much, your video so detailed and so helpful to me,,
Damnit!!! I can't find my 10mm socket!!!!
Thanks Man
Did you loose alot of trans fluid
You will definitely need a full bottle of coolant. I believe i used 1 bottle and quarter when bleeding.
Sorry no the transmission fluid did not come out much at all.
I could not separate the radiator and ac condenser, as it seems the ac condenser slides down into the radiator. I can't separate the 2

It won't be a easy process take your time
