If you own a Ford Explorer with a 5.0 liter and you have to replace the radiator then you might want to watch this video. It will show you how to install a new radiator in under 30 minutes.
@Tubstinator02 Many Auto Parts Stores will loan you Fan Clutch tools for free Just ask around. They will take a deposit that is equal to the cost of the kit and refund it entirely when you return the kit. In my case it was 65 bucks at Advance Auto.
Thanks for posting this great video! Are there any differences between this Ford Explorer with a 5.0 L and a 2006 Ford Explorer with a V-6 as far as pulling the radiator?
You can rent it from Advance Auto Parts (Powerbuilt Kit # 34) or buy it form Amazon (Performance Model# W80585)
You do NOT have to pull the condenser as posted below. I was able to do the job in about 4 hours without removing the condenser. Take your time. hardleysane1's posts below were helpful for me as was this thread:

:35 wrong! i just did the radiatior on my 2000 explorer with a 5.0,i simply unbolted the fan shroud and layed it on the fan,unbolted the condensor and removed the radiatior with the condensor.had the whole job done in less than 2 hours,easiest radiatior iv ever done.
you also need those two fan clutch tools to replace the water pump...I was wondering why I was going ape shit trying to take the fan off...all it did was spin even when I was holding the shaft with a pair of channel locks...they dont tell you that after you buy the pump...I had to get a Chiltons manual to find out...extra 40 bucks

What are the exact sizes for the fan clutch tools we need to remove the fan? Or do I need to buy a full set of fan clutch tools?
