J 38185 Hose Pliers

Important: Always install a new set of insulators when replacing a radiator. Used insulators may be worn or too large for the new radiator. These conditions may cause the New radiator to be loose.

1. Remove the surge tank. Refer to Radiator Surge Tank Replacement .
2. Remove the clamp at the radiator inlet using J 38185 .



3. Remove the inlet hose from the radiator.
4. Remove the clamp at the radiator outlet using J 38185 .
5. Remove the outlet hose from the radiator.
6. Remove the upper air baffle assembly. Refer to Radiator Air Upper Baffle and Deflector Replacement .
7. Disconnect the automatic transmission cooler lines. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Hose/Pipe Quick-Connect Fitting Disconnection and Connection in Automatic Transmission.
8. Disconnect the engine oil cooler lines. Refer to Engine Oil Cooler Pipe/Hose Quick Connect Fitting .



9. Remove the outlet heater hose clamp at the radiator using J 39529 .
10. Remove the outlet heater hose from the radiator.



11. Remove the fan shroud bolts from the top of the radiator support.
12. Remove the upper radiator support bracket. Refer to Radiator Support Replacement .



13. Remove the radiator (2).
14. Remove the radiator insulators (1,3).
15. Inspect the following components. Replace the components as necessary:

•	The radiator

•	The insulators

•	The hoses and clamps

•	The mounting hardware

1. Install the radiator insulators (1,3).
2. Install the radiator (2).
3. Install the upper radiator support bracket.



4. Install the fan shroud bolts to the top of the radiator support.

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.

5. Install the fan shroud bolts to the top of the radiator support.

Tighten
