To remove the radiator, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. If there is a suspected radiator or cooling system leak, pressure test the system using a cooling system pressure tester. Drain the cooling system and disconnect the overflow hose, upper radiator hose, and lower radiator hose from the radiator. Remove the plastic shield over the top of the radiator if necessary. If equipped with an automatic transmission or engine oil cooler, remove the cooler lines from the radiator using a flare-nut wrench. Be careful not to damage the lines or fittings and plug the ends of the disconnected lines. Remove the radiator mounting bolts and the fan shroud. Lift the radiator from the engine compartment, being careful not to contact the fan blades. Prior to installation, replace any damaged rubber mounts, hose clamps, and radiator hoses. To install the radiator, ensure it seats properly in the lower saddles and that the rubber mounts are intact. Fill the system with the proper mixture of antifreeze and check the automatic transmission fluid level. For the coolant reservoir tank, remove the coolant overflow hoses and the bolts to detach the reservoir. Prior to installation, ensure the reservoir is clean and free of debris.

Both the shroud and the bracket must be removed to lift the radiator from the engine compartment.
