BTW, it's running hot when under load (hill climbing) and I want to look between the A/C condenser and radiator or crud, before I get to some really drastic remedies. I've already flushed it with no apparent result.
instruction.
Thanks, ARW

Haven't removed mine in a long time . . . so the details are bit fuzzy. .
I'd remove the shroud since it 'hooks' into the 'slot' on the rad. MENU#20 shows how to get the outside and VFC off. And, of course, the rad hoses.
Also don't forget the tranny cooler connections on the bottom.
Should lift up and out . . .
If you tried the suggestions in MENU#17 under "Common Problems", then it could well be the radiator has reached the end of life esp if it has 'seen' tap water.
I'm sure you'll find some leaves and other debris in there so clean it out and see what happens.
