John, those radiators aren't that bad to do, just heavy & awkward. The bolts do break easily & there is a good chance you will break some when disassembling it. You can buy a complete bolt kit from Correct Connection [814-926-2777]. ~While you can try heat & penetrating oil, some of those bolts will still probably break & have to be drilled out. I used to try to fool around & work those bolts out using heat, & beating, & oil, & time, but found the heat required was hard on those brittle castings so now I just put a wrench to those bolts & if they come loose good & if not I just drill them out & re-thread the holes. ~If you are good at drilling bolts out, the radiator job won't be too bad. If you take it in for repair they will probably charge you extra for any bolts they have to drill & re-thread anyhow. ~Just use a good sealer on the gaskets & as Pete said you will probably have to drill & match the new core holes to your castings. ~On the water pump, if it's a late pump using the late seal it isn't too bad as long as the housing isn't to badly scored & the seal fits good. You really should have access to an arbor press to do the job correctly without pump damage. If it's an early pump & you haven't done one before there is a good chance you will ruin the seal pressing it together if it doesn't stay in the slots on that pump, you need a slow steady push to get it assembled correctly & I would recommend you send that one out or get a rebuilt..... .....
