Radiator removal - This is the way  I do it on a ' 86 2.2, most of the others are close so this should apply to most if the vehicles we love enough to hate
from time to time..Hope you don't mind my sending it to the group, maybe the
Moderator will see it and consider putting it in file.

  On the radiator, it can be removed by pulling the "nose".  There are a row of
screws/bolts across the top of the plastic nose-piece under the hood. Take
these out. There are two brackets on each side under the bumper and up.  They
are designed to hold the sides of the nose close to the body with no gaps. 
Each has a bolt.  Back the bolts out so there is clearance. No need to remove
the bolts. While under the bumper  reach from under the vehicle and disconnect 
the light wiring to the headlights and park lights.  Check to see if anything 
else is connected then simply pull the nose forward and it's off.

  You will be looking at two fans on a bracket. Loosen up the fasteners to 
everything  with WillyD and let 'um set awhile before trying to take out the 
3/16 (approx) bolts holding on the fan bracket and unplug two connectors  OK, 
got it off?

  Carefully remove the fasteners holding the A/C condenser to the radiator.  Do 
not break into the A/C plumbing.  "Lay it back", that is, move it out of the way 
still connected to the A/C system and save the cost of a R-12 or R-134A filling.

  Now comes the radiator. Drain the coolant and save.  Don't let your pets even 
think about taking a lick of the anti-freeze.  It could make then seriously ill 
or worse.  As soon as we get the radiator in repair it will be a good time to 
check the condition of the hoses, belts and water pump and that pesky idler 
pulley. There is a metal pressing that goes from side to side under the hood and 
includes the hole for the hood lock pintle.  There are 4 bolts, two on each end, 
that secure it. Remove these bolts, lift up on the metal piece and there is the 
radiator  Do not disturb the hood release cable.  Don't loose the brackets and 
the rubber pieces, that is about all that holds it in.  Remove the wires from 
the radiator sensors after marking to be sure they get back the same way.  Lift 
the radiator straight up and set it carefully aside.

  Check around to see if there is a good radiator shop in the area.  They can 
chemically clean, boil out or make repairs if needed.  They can also re-core, at 
a much better price than a new one from our sole vendor.  Take the thing by and 
talk to the folks, they will be glad to help.  Tell 'em it is off a Renault and 
they won't try to sell you a new one. Don't forget the guarantee.

  OK, you took it out, now put it back in, fill and bleed the cooling system, 
this is very important, A big  air bubble can .cause serious overheating and 
possibly ruin the engine.  The bleed fitting is on the outboard side of the 
heater core in front of the driver, under the hood.

  This is the way I do it, maybe someone has a better ,quicker way,so choose how 
you want to do it.  And good luck.  Use the vehicles down-time to check all the 
things that are now in plain  view, might save yourself some trouble later. Good 
luck, be careful and happy H-Bodying.
