Tools Required

J 41623-B Cooler Quick Connect Tool

1. Drain the cooling system. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling .
2. Remove the cooling fans. Refer to Engine Cooling Fan Replacement .



3. Disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses from the radiator and position aside.
4. Slide the plastic cap off the lower quick connect joint.
5. Disconnect the lower transaxle oil cooler line from the radiator using the J 41623-B .



6. Remove the upper radiator seal.
7. Remove the front headlamps. Refer to Headlamp Replacement in Lighting Systems.



8. Remove the 2 condenser mounting bolts.



9. Lift the condenser upward slightly in order to release the lower feet from the lower mounting features located at the front of the radiator.
10. Lift the radiator up and out of the vehicle.

1. Position the radiator behind the condenser.

Important: Care should be taken when installing the condenser not to damage the lower attachment points of both the radiator and condenser.

2. Position the condenser, aligning the lower feet to the lower mounting features located at the front of the radiator.




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.

Notice: The bolt retaining the condenser to the radiator end tank is a special length and should be the ONLY bolt used upon reinstallation. The use of a longer bolt will damage the radiator end tank.

3. Install the condenser mounting bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 13 N·m (115 lb in).

4. Install the headlamps. Refer to Headlamp Replacement in Lighting Systems.
