• Q: How to replace the radiator on 2006 Buick Lucerne?

  A: The first step to replace the Radiator (L26) includes draining part of the cooling system. Uninstall the cooling Fan Shroud assembly followed by disconnecting the condenser line to Radiator retaining bolt. By utilizing hose clamp pliers (J38185) users should relocate the hose clamps from the Radiator outlet hose before removing this hose from the Radiator. After you remove the condenser mounting bolts handle the lower attachment features of Radiator and condenser with care so you can lift the condenser slightly upward to release the lower fitting points from the Radiator front. Open the Radiator compartment then lift the Radiator above the vehicle. The installation starts with placing the new Radiator inside the vehicle while aligning the condenser to prevent attachment point damage. Bolts intended for the condenser mounting need installation and require tightening to 13 nm (115 inch lbs.). Relocate and tighten the Radiator outlet hose clamp through the use of hose clamp pliers (J38185). Install the condenser line to Radiator retaining bolt followed by replacement of the cooling fans and filling in the cooling system.
