Do you have a FSM, if not download one for free in the rasouces section. Really not that much to it.

Did you try google, first hit was this video.
Just did pump thermostat and radiator
Pull lower skid
Start draining radiator
Remove battery and tray
Remove grill
Remove head lights
Once rad is drained remove hoses upper and lower and bypass
Undo bottom bolts one on each side leave the mount attached to the old rad
Undo the two upper side pin bolts, I used extension with 6 point socket on a wobble extension
Remove lower tranny lines
Undo shroud and push aft
Remove rad
Attach old mount to new rad
If you didn’t buy Toyota I would put foam around the rad like they do.
Reinstall
Bleed system
Make sure shroud goes back into the bottom off the rad clips, should lay completely flat to the rad, it won’t hurt f you don’t have bottom in correct
I did the pump and thermostat as well as new fan blades
Whole job took two hrs, started filling radiator at 2 hr mark then bleed the system
