Q: How to replace the outlet radiator hose (LA3, LY9) on Cadillac CTS?
A: The replacement of the radiator outlet hose (LA3, LY9) requires draining the cooling system as the first step. Hose clamp pliers (J38185) should be used for removing the radiator outlet hose from the cooling pipe. Properly position the hose clamp pliers (J37097-A) for detachment of the Radiator Hose. The new radiator outlet hose needs positioning before installation into the vehicle. Use hose clamp pliers (J38185) to connect the hose between the radiator and the required positions while also installing the air deflector. The hose clamp pliers (J38185) needs to be used for a second time to link the hose to the cooling pipe after filling the cooling system.
Q: How to replace the outlet radiator hose on 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L engines on Cadillac Escalade?
A: For a replacement of Radiator outlet hose in 4.8l, 5.3l, and 6.0l engines, the draining of the cooling system is necessary. Disconnect the air cleaner outlet duct clamps at the Throttle Body and maf/iat sensor and then pull out the air cleaner outlet duct. Remove the outlet hose clamp from the Water Pump and take out the outlet hose from the Water Pump. Then remove outlet hose clamp from the Radiator and take the outlet hose out of the Radiator. In installation, connect the outlet hose to the Radiator, and adjust the outlet hose clamp to the Radiator. Next, attach the outlet hose to the Water Pump and reposition the outlet hose clamp back on the Water Pump on to the pump stud that is on the Throttle Body end of the duct, directing the arrow at the Throttle Body stud. Replace the air cleaner outlet duct and the Radiator inlet hose clip to the outlet duct. Lastly, secure the air cleaner outlet duct clamps at the Throttle Body and maf/iat sensor, make sure that the screws of the clamp screws are tightened to 7 nm (62 inch lbs.) and top-up the cooling system.
Q: How to replace the radiator hose outlet on Cadillac XLR?
A: The Radiator outlet hose replacement procedure must start with draining the cooling system by utilizing cooling system draining and filling (Static Fill) (GE 47716). The first step in Radiator outlet hose replacement requires air cleaner assembly removal. The Radiator inlet hose requires disconnection from the Radiator through j 38185 hose clamp pliers while using these tools on the Radiator inlet hose clamp at the Radiator for tension disengagement. For both sides of the engine proceed with this process until you remove the Radiator inlet hose. Proceed by taking off the remote Power Steering Reservoir. Disengage tension on the Radiator outlet hose clamp at the Water Pump by using j 38185 hose clamp pliers before disconnecting the hose from the Water Pump. After supporting the vehicle under its weight disengage clamp tension from the Radiator outlet hose at the Radiator before disconnecting this hose from the appliance. Remove the Radiator outlet hose. Alignment of reference marks between hoses and Radiator throughout installation will help protect the connection points from strain. Spray clean coolant inside the new hose diameters so you can put the hose into place. The Radiator outlet hose requires attachment to the Radiator followed by initial clamp tension. Put the vehicle in a lowered position to join the Radiator outlet hose with the Water Pump while tightening the clamp securement. Install the remote Power Steering Reservoir before executing the Radiator hose installation by fitting the hose between engine and Radiator regions with j 38185 to activate clamps. The cooling system requires static fill (GE 47716) before putting on its air cleaner assembly.
