Biggest tip for the radiator is to get a Haynes manual or something and just take your time, especially if you've got bigger hands like I do because things can get a little tight. Not an all day job, but will definitely take a few hours. I started mine at 10am and was finished around 2 pm with an hour for a lunch break (got distracted on this site lol). Oh, and make sure you have coolant. I almost forgot that myself.

 

Well, finally got the new hub and radiator.
I was spinning te hub when it only had the rotor on it, and it was making all sorts of noise. I didn't realize how much quieter, and smoother my truck is until I fixed that.
The radiator wasn't too bad, started at 5:30, was done by 6:50. But I was at the shop, and had all the necessary tools at arms length. The radiator was leaking from one of the plastic tanks, and from the core. But that's all good, now.
Also did an oil change. I went about 5k, and it still looked pretty good. Gotta love full synthetic.

 

Sweet timing on the radiator change! And x2 on synthetic oils.

 

Well, I started taking more of the pinstripe off. Got a good foot of it removed from the door in half an hour. I decided to do the razor trick, and it worked really well where the tape was still in good shape. It was still difficult where it's all cracked so I'm going to get back on it tomorrow or Friday.

 

Its totally going to be worth all the time put into it. One of the best things I ever did looks wise to my Firebird was take off the pinstripe.
