### Removal Procedure

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Drain the engine coolant. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling .
3. Remove the upper fan mounting bolts.
4. Remove the upper radiator panel.
5. Disconnect the radiator hoses from the radiator.
6. Disconnect the coolant recovery hose from the radiator neck.
7. Disconnect the electric cooling fan electric connector.
8. Disconnect the transaxle oil cooler lines from the radiator side tank.
9. Remove the radiator from the vehicle.

### Installation Procedure

1. Install the radiator to the vehicle. Place the bottom of the radiator in the lower pads.
2. Connect the transaxle oil cooler lines to 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.

3. Tighten the transaxle oil cooler lines to the radiator.
