    Tundra owners,
    Great sight first off! Soooo, have a 2009 Tundra and due to a lot of non-usage from the previous owner, radiator was leaking a little bit. So picked one up and here's my story.

    1st watch this video - got to give these guys credit, they made it easy to follow; I only have some pointers to make it easier!

    This is the bolts that will make your life easier - remove the trans cooler bolts and FLIP that bracket out of the way - easy remove and install!
    YELLOW circles are where the bolts are hiding from us!
