(2) Drain cooling system. (Refer to 7 - COOLING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
WARNING: CONSTANT TENSION HOSE CLAMPS
ARE USED ON MOST COOLING SYSTEM HOSES.
WHEN REMOVING OR INSTALLING, USE ONLY
TOOLS DESIGNED FOR SERVICING THIS TYPE OF
CLAMP, SUCH AS SPECIAL CLAMP TOOL (NUMBER
6094) (Fig. 31). SNAP-ON CLAMP TOOL (NUMBER
HPC-20) MAY BE USED FOR LARGER CLAMPS.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN SERVIC-
ING CONSTANT TENSION CLAMPS.
CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the
tongue of constant tension clamps (Fig. 32). If
replacement is necessary, use only an original
equipment clamp with matching number or letter.
(3) Remove hose clamps (Fig. 31) and hoses from
radiator. Disconnect coolant reserve/overflow tank
hose and washer bottle electrical connector and hose.
(4) Remove upper fan shroud mounting screws Lift
upper fan shroud assembly up and out of engine com-
partment (Fig. 33).
(5) Disconnect transmission oil cooler lines, (if
equipped) (Fig. 34).
(6) Disconnect electric cooling fan motor connector.
(7) Remove radiator upper mounting screws (Fig.
35). Lift radiator upward and away from vehicle. Do
not allow cooling fins of radiator to contact any other
vehicle component. Radiator fin damage could result.
CLEANING
Clean radiator fins With the engine cold, apply cold
water and compressed air to the back (engine side) of
the radiator to flush the radiator and/or A/C con-
denser of debris.
INSPECTION
The radiator cooling fins should be checked for
damage or deterioration. Inspect cooling fins to make
sure they are not bent or crushed, these areas result
in reduced heat exchange causing the cooling system
to operate at higher temperatures. Inspect the plastic
end tanks for cracks, damage or leaks.
Inspect the radiator neck for damage or distortion.
