Re: Radiator differences in 95 Windstars
I just replaced the rad/condenser as a set. Just the rad will be trickier.
Some of this you may know already.
Remove the fan assembly, which as mentioned must be jimmied around to get it out. The condenser sits on two plastic hooks on the rad, that is why you must push it down first (and/or lift condenser). Looking at my old set, looks to be a good 3/4 inch to separate the rad and condenser. Then you will have to wrestle it out. Getting it back in you will need to attach the rubber air guide on the bottom of the rad and push it past the condenser as it flares in that direction a little. And again, you will have to push it below the condenser and back up to hook the plastic hangers back on.
The trannie lines can be a pain too. I undid the hex heads which is OK getting them out, but then trying to get the threads to line up reinstalling didn't work. I had to disconnect the lines, connect the hex heads and then reinstall the lines. This worked quite efficiently compared to messing with the hex heads for over an hour.
Having replaced the rad/condenser as a set, I really question doing just the rad. It will be challenging.
Good luck.
