    Other than obvious steps: like draining coolant, taking off the bumper, and front frame, is there anything special I need to do? Is there special steps for draining and replacing coolant?

    I got that one 1 piece Denso radiator 221-9302 that is suppose to have the inverter/engine sections.

    Tips would be great.

    Thanks,

    Anyone has any experience changing the radiator on Prius C?

    Did you manage to change the radiator yourself? Front bumper removal is necessary on Prius C?

    Yeah you need to remove the front bumper, what i'm not sure is if that you also need to remove the A/C lines, i hope not.

    I know you have to remove the front bumper for Prius, but are you sure thats also the case for Prius C?

    UPDATE: This is false, the front bumper does not needs to be removed to replace the radiator.

    I was wrong. There is no need to remove the front bumper in the Prius C in order to remove the radiator.
