Its pretty easy. Once you get all the hoses and trans lines unhooked, remove the plastic cover on the core support (above the rad) and it should come right out. At least that's all that was holding mine down.

I like the core size, but I would have told you to order one for a 95 SSEi.... But the 1 inch core should be better than what's already there by a good bit..

I actually used a caddy radiator on my 95 SE... I think the core is 1-3/8 iirc..

Removal and install is not bad either...
