Thanks whunter. I think I am actually going to expand this a little bit.

My radiator is leaking a little bit at the seam, so I decided I am just going to take care of all of this at once while I am draining the coolant.

So my plan is to take care of the following:

• Radiator
• Radiator mount kit (clips and stuff)
• Upper and lower radiator hoses (I should do this, right?)
• Thermostat
• Thermostat housing to cylinder head gasket
• thermostat to water pump hose
• New red coolant

Anything I am missing that is in the circuit of things being changed?

I have read a little bit here and there about citrus flush. Is there any need to worry about this if I am changing out the radiator?

Help is greatly appreciated. Never had to deal with the cooling system on any of my other MBs in the past. I always search on any job I am going to do, but may not realize I am missing something if I don't know what I am getting into.
