Hi, I just got an 89' Civic DX Sedan. Im not good with cars sorry for posting on your site. But I just need help with it. Its got a smashed radiator, hood, and left and right headlight. There might be more damage than I am seeing. Im not sure how to go about changing the radiator. Please help, I know you all needed it before.

changing the raiator + cake

1) pull the fan off with the two bolts holding it onto the radiator ( optional, but makes it easier )
2) pull off the overflow hose
3) pull the lower radiator hose and let all the fluid drain into something, all you need is a pair of pliers
4) pull the top hose off the same way as the bottom ( fluid will come out of the engine when you do this )
5) there are two supports holding it on the top held in by 2 screws on each side. unscrew them and lift out the radiator. just go backwards to put everything back in. have fun!
