Q: How to replace the radiator (LE5) in a 2.4L on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: Before changing the Radiator (LE5) in a 2.4l automobile you need to remove the cooling fan and shroud assembly. Start by discarding the condenser mounting bolts then push both upward and downward on the condenser and Radiator until the condenser mounting tabs separate from the Radiator clips. Tear the Radiator free by removing the condenser mounting nuts before pulling out the Radiator from the car. Position the new Radiator into the vehicle by pressing the condenser up while applying downward pressure on the Radiator until all condenser mounting tabs fit into the Radiator clips. When installing the condenser mounting nuts and bolts tighten both components to 6 n.m (53 lb in). Finally replace the cooling fan assembly together with its shroud.
Q: How to replace the radiator on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: The procedure starts by eliminating the Fan Shroud followed by lifting the vehicle. J 38185 hose clamp pliers move the outlet hose clamp into the optimal position so you can take off the outlet Radiator Hose. Next step requires removal of transmission cooler lines from the Radiator while simultaneously lowering the vehicle before taking off the Radiator vent inlet hose. A necessary procedure for Radiator replacement involves detaching the condenser from the Radiator by removing the Radiator mounting bracket bolt, the Radiator mount, the grill, and the condenser mounting bolts to free the Radiator for removal. Start by placing the new Radiator and affixing the condenser while securing all condenser bolts to the Radiator at 28 nm (21 lb ft). Finish the installation by fitting the grille and mounting bracket for the Radiator with its bolt secured at 28 nm (21 lb ft). Use j 38185 (Hose Clamp Pliers) to attach the Radiator outlet hose and change the clamp position during the Radiator outlet hose reinstallation. After lowering the vehicle and finishing Radiator vent inlet hose installation the mechanic will return the transmission cooler lines along with reinstalling the Fan Shroud.
Q: How to replace a radiator on Chevrolet Tracker?
A: The first steps to replace the Radiator include disconnecting the negative Battery Cable as well as removing the Radiator Cap. Raise your vehicle properly and eliminate any safety hazards before removing all lower shroud clips. Drain the cooling system by opening the Drain Plug until the required fluid leaves the system. Keep the Drain Plug closed after the procedure. Automatic transmission operators should detach their transmission oil cooler lines located at the bottom of the Radiator before sealing open ends to block leakage. After lowering the vehicle you should disconnect the lower Radiator Hose before proceeding to take off the Radiator overflow hose then the upper Radiator Hose. Secure the Radiator by removing two upper Radiator shroud clips while removing one bolt from each Radiator side on the installation process without damaging the Radiator fan. The Fan Shroud needs to be leaned toward the engine while you lift the Radiator out of its position in the vehicle. To mount the Radiator position each bolt on both sides then put in the 2 upper Radiator shroud clips along with the upper Radiator Hose and Radiator overflow hose. Apply needed torque to the vehicle before mounting the lower Radiator Hose, transmission oil cooler lines and installing the 2 lower Radiator shroud clips. After vehicle position is lowered you must fill the cooling system before reconnecting the negative Battery Cable. The inspection process ends when you operate the engine while checking for coolant leaks and making sure the system has the right coolant level together with looking for automatic transmission fluid leaks and confirming correct fluid level.
