Not difficult at all once you remove the spare tire and associated parts.  2
brackets hold up the bottom.  Top end has a pointy part that fits into
rubber grommet above.  The '82 diesel radiator is unique in that it uses 2
separate thermoswitches to operate the fan.  This makes your radiator more
difficult to find and more expensive than the '83 and later models.  It may
be worth converting to the newer style.

My 82 Westy Diesel recieved a very large hole in the radiator yesterday.  I
was thinking of replacing it myself.  Are there any hidden pitfalls to this
procedure?  Thanks for the help.  I love this list.
