Hi,
I may need to take out my rad, how easy is it to remove? Is it straight forward or is there a lot of other stuff that needs to come out first? Car is a 2007 manual with aircon.
cheers,
Martin.

It is a straight forward and fairly easy job. the only hassle is the liquid and the fan shroud, I cannot remember meeting any obstacles.

that sounds easy enough. I did thought I read somewhere that you have to do something with the aircon rad to allow enough space to lift the main rad out?
So just drain down the rad, undo the obvious fixings/hoses & it should lift/jiggle out leaving the fan shroud & aircon rad in the car?

I've replaced the radiators on both my current Jimnys, but neither has air-con, so I can't offer any assistance
But as Yakuza says, it's dead easy on a non-air-con model?

simple, we even took off my radiator when off-road to make replacing the Fan Belt easy!!

It's dead easy with aircon, the aircon rad is mounted on the same bracket, but on different mounts so no need to remove air con or fan
