Tools necessary to change radiator

[graham25]

I have a 97 GTP and I am going to change the radiator. I was just wondering what tools I will need so once I start I will have all of them at my disposal. I know I obviously need sockets. But what else should I have?

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

basic hand tools maybe proper size line/flare wrenches pliers screw drivers think thats it

is it a sob to take out?

Need some quick disconnect tools for the trans line.

i bought a new Radiator, Upper and lower hoses, 180* T-stat and gasket


only because i have black sludgy stuff in my old one and im installing a new engine so i figured it would be worth it

thanks for the info

If it is a 97 then it should'nt have the quick connects for the trans lines. It should be the older style nut type fittings. I would also recommend getting some hose clamp pliers to make removal of the factory style clamps easier to remove espicially if the clamp is facing the wrong way. makes it hard to get to with just pliers

i just cut them replace upper and lower hosses and clamps
