Removal Procedure
- Remove the cooling fans. Refer to Engine Cooling Fan Replacement .
- Remove the two condenser mounting bolts.
- Lift the condenser upward slightly in order to release the lower feet from the lower mounting features located at the front of the radiator.
- Lift the radiator up and out the vehicle.
Important: Care should be taken when removing the condenser not to damage the lower attachment points of both the radiator and condenser.
Installation Procedure
- Position the radiator behind the condenser.
- Position the condenser, aligning the lower feet to the lower mounting features located at the front of the radiator.
- Install the condenser mounting bolts.
- Install the cooling fans. Refer to Engine Cooling Fan Replacement .
Important: Care should be taken when Installing the condenser not to damage the lower attachment points of both the radiator and condenser.
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.
Important: The bolts retaining the condenser to the radiator end tanks are a special length and should be the ONLY bolts used upon reinstallation. The use of longer bolts will damage the radiator end tanks.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 13 N·m (115 lb in).
