    anyone ever swap out their radiator before??? Just picked up coolant conditioner
    and coolant from subaru and about to swap it out. Seems fairly simple. Anyone have any advice? Or trouble shooting info.

    Pretty easy, there's a drain valve on the bottom left but usually faster just to remove the lower radiator hose into a big bucket. It just lifts out once the two brackets on top are removed and fans are unplugged.

    So easy it's ridiculous. You shouldn't have any problems, just make sure to get all the air out after you swap.
