  Q: How to remove and install a radiator and coolant reservoir?

  A: Buy non-toxic coolant at auto parts stores and dispose of used coolant properly. To remove the radiator, disconnect the negative battery cable, remove engine shields and covers, disconnect fan motor wiring, and drain the cooling system. Detach radiator hoses and reservoir hose. If your vehicle has automatic transaxles, disconnect the transaxle oil cooler hoses. Remove the radiator top mounting brackets and remove the radiator and fan(s). Inspect the radiator for leaks, damage, and blockage. Clean the radiator with compressed air and a soft brush. To install, ensure rubber mounts are in place. Fill the cooling system with antifreeze and water. Start the engine, check for leaks, and add coolant if needed. Check the automatic transaxle fluid level. The coolant reservoir is attached to the fenderwell. Disconnect the hose, remove the reservoir, pour out remaining coolant, and inspect for damage. To reinstall, reverse the removal procedure and refill to the lower level line.
