Time taken to replace radiator depends on a few techniques. 1. with 6 pack (of favorite brew) in hand and several helpers (may need case) this could take an entire Saturday. 2. with just the six pack (or genereous coffee breaks) and no helpers it could take half a day or a little more. 3. just doing the drudgery of work it could take 2 to 3 hours. (depending on bleeding. (bleeding could refer to knicks, cuts, knuckles or to the bleeding of the coolant system when done.) Recommend new hoses when you replace the rad. jimt
