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.
- Install the nuts (2) to the shock tower studs.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Tighten
Tighten the nuts to 3.3 N·m (29 lb in).
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.
