Radiator Hose: Service and Repair






REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Negative battery cable.
2. Drain and recover the radiator so the level of the coolant is below the hose being removed.
3. Radiator inlet hose from the radiator and engine coolant outlet.
4. Radiator outlet hose from the radiator and radiator outlet and surge tank.

CAUTION: Make sure the reference marks on the hoses and the radiator are lined up. A twist on the hose would place strain on the radiator fitting which could cause the fitting to crack or break.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Radiator outlet hose to the radiator and radiator outlet and surge tank.
2. Radiator inlet hose to the radiator and engine coolant outlet.
3. Refill radiator.
4. Negative battery cable.
