Radiator Air Baffle Assemblies and Deflectors Upper

1. Raise the hood.




Important: Do not attempt to pull up on the radiator upper air baffle flaps from the top side of the part. Pulling up on the flaps from the top side of the part may affect the latch mechanism.

2. Open the radiator upper air baffle hinge flaps by deflecting the latch from the bottom side of the part. Disconnect the radiator side baffle from the radiator upper air baffle.
3. Remove the radiator upper air baffle retainers.
4. Remove the radiator upper air baffle bolts.
5. Remove the radiator upper air baffle.
6. Remove the radiator side air baffle bolts.
7. Remove the radiator side air baffles.

1. Install the radiator side air baffles.

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.
