  Q: How to replace the coolant reservoir on Chevrolet SSR?

  A: To replace the Coolant Reservoir, first make sure the engine is not hot or warm so as not to incur burns of scalding fluid and steam when un-premising the Radiator Cap or Coolant Reservoir cap. It is essential to start by draining the cooling system. Take off the Coolant Reservoir front bolt at front mounting bracket, then turn off tension on the Coolant Reservoir inlet hose clamp by using the hose clamppliers (J38185) and then releasing the inlet hose from the Coolant Reservoir. Do this for the Coolant Reservoir outlet hose clamp and throttle body coolant hose clamp, removing both hoses as you unclamp the hoses. Pull up the rear of the Coolant Reservoir to detach it from the rear mounting bracket. For installation, clean coolant should be used to lubricate the inside diameters of hoses, and the Coolant Reservoir should be assembled into rear mounting bracket. Connect the Coolant Reservoir outlet hose with tension applied to the outlet of the hose clamp, followed by connecting the inlet hose with the tension applied to its clamp. Join the throttle body coolant hose and tighten the tension on its clamp. Mount the front Coolant Reservoir bolt to the mounting bracket, tightening it firmly to 9 nm (80 inch lbs) and finally fill up the cooling system.
