Default Radiator replacement and garage time

I'm looking to replace my radiator. it’s sprung a leak. It sounds like I’ll need to take the bumper off to do the repair. Has anyone done this? Is it reasonably easy to do yourself? Is it hard to get the bumper back on? Also, does anyone know if there are any garages in the area that rent lift time? Can I do the repair on jack stands at home?

Thanks

You don't even need jack stands to this. Yea its way more convenient on a lift though. I did it outside in the cold and it took me about 3 hours. The hardest part was reconnecting the oil cooler lines. This is how to remove the bumper...
