Disassembly and Assembly

PREPARATION





1. Attach the spacer to the tip of radiator plate pliers A (SST). Spacer specification: 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) thick x 18 mm (0.71 inch) wide x 8.5 mm (0.335 inch) long.
2. Make sure that when radiator plate pliers A (SST) are closed dimension "H" is approximately 7.6 mm (0.299 inch).
3. Adjust dimension "H" with the spacer, if necessary.

DISASSEMBLY





1. Remove upper or lower tanks with radiator plate pliers B (SST).





^ Grip the crimped edge and bend it upwards so that radiator plate pliers B [SST: KV99103520 (-)] slips off.
Do not bend excessively.





^ In areas where radiator plate pliers B [SST: KV99103520 (-)] cannot be used, use a screwdriver to bend the edge up.
Be careful not to damage tank.

2. Remove sealing rubber.

^ Use pliers in the locations where plate pliers A [SST: KV99103510 (-)] cannot be used.





5. Make sure that the rim is completely crimped down.
Standard height "H": 8.0 - 8.4 mm (0.315 - 0.331 inch)
6. Confirm that there is no leakage.

INSPECTION





1. Apply pressure with radiator cap tester adapter (SST) and radiator cap tester (commercial service tool).
Testing pressure: 157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm2, 23 psi)

WARNING: To prevent the risk of the hose coming undone while under pressure, securely fasten it down with a hose clamp.

CAUTION: Attach a hose to the oil cooler to seal its inlet and outlet.
