And this brings up yet Another issue... the alignment adjuster cams (lower A-arm) are notorious for getting stuck in place and need to be cut out. So I'd plan on having spares in hand and that 2nd vehicle available... my southern vehicle was only Slightly stuck and I was able to free and reuse them, but it seems I'm in the minority there.

This is mostly just one of those annoyances that's easily dealt with if forewarned.

for the radiator replacement, that's about as straight-forward a task as you can get. Drain coolant, pinch ATF lines, remove various hoses, remove fan shroud, remove 4 bolts that hold radiator to core support and lift out. Coolant should be "red" variety, if you haven't kept up with the fluid changes (every 3~4 years), might be worth dumping in a coolant cleaner a few weeks ahead of time and going through a few drain and fills (with distilled water) before the swap.
