5. At the top of the radiator, remove the radiator mounting brackets and tilt the radiator towards the engine. Be careful to remove the heatsink so as not to damage the heatsink fins. Be careful not to lose the bottom rubber radiator support.
Examination
1. If the radiator was removed due to a decrease in throughput, flush it with a jet of water in two directions. Blow out the radiator with compressed air.
2. If the radiator is leaking, do not attempt to weld or solder the leak, as the plastic parts of the radiator will be damaged.
3. Minor radiator leaks can be repaired with radiator sealant.
4. Check the condition of the lower rubber radiator mounts and replace if necessary.
Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following points:
- check that the lower tabs on the radiator are properly seated in the front cross member;
- when connecting hoses to the radiator, use new O-rings in the connectors;
- finally replenish the cooling system.
