Disassembly and Assembly

RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)





PREPARATION





1. Attach spacer to tip of radiator plate pliers A [SST].
Spacer specification: 18 mm (0.71 inch) wide x 8.5 mm (0.335 inch) long x 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) thick.
2. Make sure that when radiator plate pliers A [SST: KV99103510 ( - )] are closed dimension H" is approximately 7.6 mm (0.299 inch).
3. Adjust dimension H" with spacer, if necessary.

DISASSEMBLY





1. Remove upper and lower tanks with radiator plate pliers B [SST].

CAUTION: Do not disassemble lower tank and A/T fluid cooler. (A/T models)

NOTE: Regard lower tank and A/T fluid cooler as an assembly. (A/T models)





^ Grip the crimped edge and bend it upwards so that radiator plate pliers B slips off.

CAUTION: Do not bend excessively.





^ In areas where radiator plate pliers B cannot be used, use screwdriver to bend the edge up.

CAUTION: Be careful not to damage tank.





2. Remove sealing rubber.
3. Make sure the edge stands straight up.

ASSEMBLY





1. Clean contact portion of tank.





2. Install sealing rubber while pushing it with fingers.

CAUTION: Be careful not to twist sealing rubber.





3. Caulk tank in numerical order as shown in the figure with radiator plate pliers A [SST].








^ Use pliers in the locations where radiator plate pliers A cannot be used.





4. Make sure that the rim is completely crimped down.
Standard height "H": 8.0 - 8.4 mm (0.315 - 0.331 inch)
5. Make sure 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 hose coming undone while under pressure, securely fasten it down with hose clamp.

CAUTION: Attach hose to A/T fluid cooler to seal its inlet and outlet. (A/T models)





2. Check for leakage by soaking radiator in water container with the testing pressure applied.
