hey there,
i'm new to this forum.
my buddy has asked me to replace a faulty radiator in his 07' honda fit.
haven't been able to find a good video on youtube.
what is the easiest way to get this accomplished, im guessing i need to remove the front plastic bumper?

 

In addition to bumper removal, you need to slide radiator between core support and A/C condenser without damaging it.
It's not an easy task even with condenser lines disconnected.
make sure you have plenty of time (4 hours) and great deal of patience
Have fun!

 

Tip for anyone also needing to do this...it is much easier to access and remove that lower bolt connecting the A/C line to the condenser from the passenger wheel well area instead of reaching down from the top of the engine bay. You may/may not be able to visually see the bolt as you're removing it, but you can feel for it and remove it from a more comfortable position this way.

 

May just have my buddy do this when he's doing a few other things for me..

 

It's not necessary disconnect a/c lines to condenser, but has to be supported (not stressing the high pressure line)
the bumper bar (actual bumper hidden under bumper cover) is very easy to remove (six 12mm headed screws)
