Not like life is stressful enough, my car was hit while it was park'd at school. It has been over 16 years sense I have had to deal with a water cool engine. What should I be watching out for when doing this job?

Once again thanks ,Dave

drain coolant from the radiator. I think saabs have a huge like 22 mm nut with a spout on the end that you can put a hose over, or just dump it all over the ground, I mean, into a pan. Then do the upper and lower radiator hoses, and there may be a second smaller hose for a coolant expansion tank. Unplug / remove radiator fans. Remove radiator.

installation is the reverse of removal

I dare say he already had the hit take care of the drain.

Good news us.. you can pick up NG900 and 9-3 radiators all over the junkyards. Every yard around here has two or three of them
