REMOVAL
1. | Disconnect the ground cable from the battery terminal.
2. | Disconnect the fan motor connector.
3. | Loosen the radiator drain plug to drain the coolant.
4. | Disconnect the upper and lower hoses and overflow tube after making marks on the radiator hose and the hose clamp.
5. | For vehicles with automatic transaxles, disconnect the oil cooler hoses from the automatic transaxle.
Cover or plug the hose and inlets of the radiator so that dust and other foreign materials can not enter after the hose is disconnected from the radiator.

4. | Check that there are no leaks from the radiator, hoses or connections.
INSPECTION
