Q: How to replace the coolant reservoir on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: As the first step in replacing the coolant reservoir, drain the coolant. The Hose Clamp Pliers (J 38185) help move coolant reservoir inlet hose clamp positions before removing the inlet hose from the coolant reservoir. First, separate the coolant reservoir from its bracket by extending its mounting tabs, then disconnect the coolant level sensor wire harness connector. The Hose Clamp Pliers (J 38185) should be used to reposition the outlet hose clamp before the outlet hose and coolant reservoir are removed. Position the outlet hose clamp onto the coolant reservoir following installation by using Hose Clamp Pliers (J 38185). Connect the coolant level sensor wire harness connector, then use the coolant reservoir's tilt to guide the weld seam under the ribs at the back of the mounting bracket while pressing down for the mounting tabs to secure into place. Check the coolant reservoir tabs engagement by pulling upward and install the inlet hose while using Hose Clamp Pliers (J 38185) for hose clamp repositioning. Put the coolant inside the tank before installing its protective cap.
