Fastening the lower radiator hoses, transmission oil cooling element and hose to the expansion tank
A – fastening of the lower radiator hoses,
B – transmission oil cooling element,
C – hose to the expansion tank
1. Drain the coolant from the radiator. It is not necessary to drain the coolant from the engine block. On DOHC engines, remove the electric fan to increase clearance for removing the radiator.
2. Remove the hoses from the radiator by loosening the hose clamps and pulling the hoses off by turning them.
3. On OHC models, disconnect the hose connecting the expansion tank to the radiator.
4. On vehicles with automatic transmission, disconnect the transmission oil cooling elements at the radiator (the upper connection of the transmission oil cooling element at the radiator is shown in the figure).
5. On vehicles with air conditioning, disconnect the auxiliary fan thermal switch. If the thermal switch is installed on the radiator, remove it.
6. Remove the upper part of the fan shroud by unscrewing two bolts and disconnecting two clamps, and remove the lower part of the fan shroud by unscrewing two bolts.
7. Disconnect the two upper radiator mounting clamps by sliding out the plastic plugs.
8. Raise the front of the vehicle and remove the two lower radiator mounting bolts (the lower mounting bolt is indicated by the arrow).
9. Lower the radiator slightly to release the upper mount, then remove the radiator by pulling it out from under the vehicle.
10. To install the radiator, you must perform the steps in reverse order to the process of its removal. After installing the cooling system pipes, fill the system with coolant and remove air from it.
