THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF THINGS YOU WILL NEED
(1) A new radiator or a second hand radiator that you can pick up at a good price if you shop around.
(2) New radiator clamps and hoses if needed
(3) Coolant
(4) A screwdriver set
(5) Long nose pliers
WHAT TO DO, STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Do not attempt to remove the radiator if you believe it may be too hot, Make sure your car is in park and the hand brake is on.
(2) Remove the radiator guard located on top of the radiator with a screwdriver.
(3) Remove the metal radiator clips located on both sides of the radiator.
(4) Undo the radiator cap.
(5) Undo all of the top hoses going to the radiator with a screwdriver. The hose that goes to the over flow will require you to use long nose pliers to get the hose off.
(6) Undo the bottom radiator hose and put a bucket underneath your radiator, then pull the hose off letting all of the coolant spill out into the bucket. Then take all off all of the hoses.
(7) Remove the fan guard that surrounds the radiator.
(8) Slide out the old radiator.
(9) Slide the new radiator down slowly onto the holes so that they line up with the prongs at the bottom of the radiator. If the radiator is in correctly then the radiator should not move around too much.
(10) Replace the radiator fan surround.
(11) Replace the metal radiator clips located on both sides of the radiator.
(12) Connect all the hoses back up to where they where, make sure they are tight so no coolant can leak out.
(13) Replace the radiator guard at the top of the radiator.
(14) Fill the radiator with coolant as much as you can then run the car for a minute and then fill it up again.
By changing a radiator yourself you will save between $50 – $100 dollars, with the money you save by doing this you can buy yourself something nice.
