Removal Procedure
- Reposition the coolant reservoir hose clamp
(1) at the radiator overflow fitting.
- Remove the coolant reservoir hose from the clip at the power distribution
center.
- Remove the coolant reservoir hose from the radiator overflow fitting.
- Remove the nuts (2) from the shock tower studs.
- Remove the coolant recovery reservoir (3) from the lower retainer and
the shock tower studs.
- Drain the coolant from the recovery reservoir in to a clean container.
Installation Procedure
- Install the coolant recovery reservoir
(3) to the lower retainer and the shock tower studs.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the nuts (2) to the shock tower studs.
Tighten
Tighten the nuts to 3.3 N·m (29 lb in).
- Lubricate the reservoir hose with clean water. Route the hose to the
radiator overflow neck fitting.
- Install the coolant reservoir hose (1), to the radiator overflow fitting.
Important: The hose end must be flush against the radiator filler neck. Seat the clamp
squarely between the radiator filler neck and the flared end of the fitting.
- Reposition the coolant reservoir hose clamp to the radiator overflow
fitting.
- Install the coolant reservoir hose to the clip at the power
distribution center.
- Fill the coolant recovery reservoir to the proper level.
