Do I need to drain my cooling system before installing this?

Yes. Disconnect the hose clamps and allow the system to drain into a catch pan before removing the old radiator. Refill with the correct coolant type and bleed air from the system per your service manual.

What fasteners and hoses come with this radiator?

The radiator assembly ships as a complete unit with mounting tabs. You'll reuse your existing hose clamps and coolant hoses from the old radiator—they connect directly without modification.

Can I install this myself with basic tools?

The mounting points are factory-spec and straightforward, but cooling system work requires draining, disconnecting hoses, and refilling. Have a service manual on hand and take your time to avoid air pockets in the system.
