Thanks all for the tips.. I completed the job today.. and of course a few struggles along the way..
1) Thermostat was a much harder to access than I recall when i did it years back.. U need just the right sized extensions..
2) Getting the lower radiator hose off the pump was a struggle.. as was putting the new lower hose onto the new radiator.. (a drop of liquid soap fixed that!)
3) manipulating the fan assembly back into the car was a bit of a challenge as well..
I also replace the CPS sensor while I had the radiator out.. Even with the good access.. getting that screw to line up was a bit frustrating.. (Not sure how I ever did it years back with radiator/fan in place? )
In any case.. I flushed it with some distilled water.. then filled it with some fresh antifreeze.. No apparent leaks.. and temp gauge now goes to the 9 oclock position again! Hopefully this chapter is over..
Thanks again..
