Before you start, open the bonnet of your Subaru Forester. Begin by disconnecting the hoses connected to the radiator by loosening the metal clips and pulling them off. Next, unscrew and remove the bolts that secure the fan mounted on the radiator, then remove the fan itself and disconnect the corresponding plug.

At this point, unscrew and remove the bolts that secure the radiator, and then remove the radiator itself to complete the disassembly. To fit the new radiator, simply follow these steps in reverse, and you will have completed the replacement.
