Answer
Yes you can do it, it is not that hard. I recommend purchasing a Heinz Manual for your car. The manual is a very handy source of information, it will explain and give you step by step details to removing and installing a new radiator. I recommend changing your radiator hoses as when you remove it and reinstall the old ones they may crack and leek, so if your going to change your radiator might as well spend and extra few dollars and change the hoses, highly, highly recommended that you change them.
