I have a pinhole in the front of the radiator on my firewood truck and I am wondering how difficult of a job it is to remove and replace it? Any special tips or tricks I should be aware of before I attempt the job?

have pulled 4 of them and they are very easy, 4 bolts and the hoses then slide out... if you have the shroud unbolt it and slide to the motor then just lift out the radiator

Thanks! I kinda figured it wouldn't be too difficult. Thanks for letting me know. The other one I am going to try to put in came with a bunch of extra parts when I bought the firewood truck. Is there anything special I need to do with the replacement radiator? I should probably flush it out with water first I suppose.

Didn't know there were 2 kinds of drain plugs. All I have ever noticed is the little white plastic one. Thanks again.
