2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the coolant reservoir on 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: First move the reservoir hose clamp (Hose Clamp) to its new position. Initiate by pulling the reservoir hose from the radiator overflow neck before disconnecting the coolant recovery reservoir nuts (Nuts) from shock tower studs. With the shock tower studs exposed drain coolant from the recovery reservoir (Reservoir) into a clean container by first removing the lower retainer then the recovery reservoir. Place the coolant recovery reservoir (Reservoir) on the lower retainer and shock tower studs before installing coolant recovery reservoir nuts (Nuts) and torquing them to 3.3 Nm (29 inch lbs.). Clean water lubrication of the reservoir hose should precede hose installation onto the overflow neck fitting. The hose route to the neck fitting should be finalized before attachment. Complete the installation by placing the reservoir hose facedown to the radiator overflow fitting located on the filler neck at the 11 o'clock position. Ensure both hose and clamp sit properly between the radiator mouth and its flared portion before your final step.
