replaceing radiator
 
I am replacing a leaky radiator on my volvo v70 GLT Turbo

Removal looks pretty simple interms of draining, removing coolant hoses detaching the fan and removing through the underside of the car.

What I am not sure about is the additional two hoses for the what I believe is the automatic transmission cooler.
How do I disconnect these hoses?
Do I need to drain anything?
Any special tools required?

Does anyone know of a procedure for removal and installation of the radiator on this forum.

Ian assistance would be much appreciated.

What year is your car? You can check the DIY in the 850 section also Google it, you will likely get results from Matt's site which will have great results.

It's a 1999 model

Thanks, I was able to remove the AT hoses, on this model, they have two plastic clips you squeeze together and with a firm tug they came out.
I am halfway through the removal and will be finished up tomorrow, ready to fit the new radiator when it arrives.
