Drain the raidator coolent into some jugs then you can re-use it. I think it was less than 2 gallons.

i would say remove the radiator since it's so quick and easy, but if you're dead set on
leaving it in then you can slid a piece of cardboard on the face of the radiator to protect
the fins.

If you don't remove the radiator, at least put something over the fins. I generally put a piece of doubled up cardboard in front of the radiator when I remove my turbo - just a little extra protection. Removing radiator is actually pretty easy, too.

30 bucks amn hour is not bad. gotta look at it his way. its like your paying for training. I am a mehanic also for usaf and i charge 25 an hour on the outside and 30 if someone is help. most of the time its harder with all the questions and stuff. But for this job just read up and tackle it your self, not a hard job at all
