96/850 150k

It appears I have to replace the radiator on my 850. I hear the plastic end caps tend to leak at this mileage. Where can I get the low down (steps/pics) to replace myself?

I used the instructions posted on volvospeed with success. There is some variation in the location of the supports that carry the radiator, but the key to the procedure is to drop the radiator core from the bottom leaving the fan and ac heat exchanger in place. Took me three hours start to finish.
Good luck.
