RADIATOR

Removal and Installation


REMOVAL


WARNING:
- Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns may occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from radiator.
- Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn it all the way.
1.Remove engine under cover.
2.Drain engine coolant from radiator. Draining Engine Coolant.

CAUTION:
Perform this step when the engine is cold.
3.Remove air duct (inlet). Exploded View.
4.Remove radiator hose (upper) and reservoir tank hose.
5.Disconnect harness connector from fan motor, and move it aside.





6.Remove cooling fan assembly (1).

CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage radiator core when removing.
7.Removal radiator hose (lower).





8.Remove radiator upper clips by pulling the tabs outside to release the lock.

CAUTION:
Never pull the tabs outside excessively to prevent it from damaging.
9.Remove radiator.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch radiator core.

INSTALLATION


CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-ring.
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Radiator Upper Clip
Install radiator upper clip on radiator core connection as follows:





1.Install mounting rubbers (upper) on mounting pins of radiator.
2.Align radiator upper clip with radiator core connection, then insert radiator upper clip straight into radiator core connections until a click is heard.
3.After connecting radiator upper clip, use the following method to check it is fully connected.
- Visually confirm that two radiator upper clips are connected to radiator core connections.
- Move radiator upper clip and the radiator forward and backward to check they are securely connected.
Radiator
NOTE:
When installing radiator core support (upper), check that both upper and lower mounts of radiator and air conditioner condenser are inserted in the mounting holes of radiator core support (upper, lower).

CAUTION:
Use genuine mounting bolts for the cooling fan assembly and strictly observe the tightening torque.
(Breakage prevention for radiator)
Reservoir tank
NOTE:
- Insert reservoir tank straight into the mounting location and check by the feel that the pawl is securely fastened.
- Pull reservoir tank upward to check that it does not come off.
Radiator hose
NOTE:
Insert the radiator hose (1) all the way to the stopper (2) or by 33 mm (1.30 in) (hose without a stopper).










- For the orientation of the hose clamp pawl, refer to the figure.




















- The angle (b) created by the hose clamp pawl and the specified line (A) must be within ±15 as shown in the figure.





- To install hose clamps (1), check that the dimension (A) from the end of the hose clamp on the radiator hose to the hose clamp is within the reference value.
