It’s easier if you take the fan out first then the radiator

[portmurphy]

Torn- love the speed of the vid but half wish there was a lil narration

[BloodyKnives]

okay video would be better with some sound and step by step instructions

[frankconley]

Wow. Thanks so much. I wish it was longer. Still very helpful.

of the many radiators ive done, this one here pissed me off lol

[JarOfRats]

...sigh. Don't you have any 1/4" drive tools? Also, the transmission cooler lines have QUICK CONNECTS. Use a pick tool and remove the little E-clip from that fitting you unbolted and the line pops right off. ALSO, take the fans off before pulling the radiator and you won't have to manhandle the radiator out. I assure you, installing a new radiator the way you removed the old one WILL result in damage.

This video really helped me prepare for removing and replacing my radiator.

I have a 2001 Impala, so it may have been a little different. but I had to remove the battery from the left side, in order to get the radiator out.

I'm not getting any coolant to the motor ? I took the hose off and started the car and no coolant is coming through can u help me?

[kaileewolfrom]

couple questions, , first is the front part and the rear part of the radiator seperate or are they sold together.. and if so what is the front part called, i am not talking about the fans . my car is an 05 impala

[travisfromherz]

so how does the bottom transmission line come off and what size wrench do you need for it?

[ApexxJimmy]

alright, that's good.
I'm starting to freak out. I'm lacking tools and I'm depending on someone else to help me. I don't know if it need to drill them out and tap (no, idea what size bolts I need and tap size) or vice grip the bottom of the bolt and try to thread it out that way.
Thanks for the help man.

Bro I can’t get the Tran cool line out like I have no space for my wrench and I don’t think I can get the clip out any one cap help ???

[ApexxJimmy]

I got it all hooked up but when I went to burp it and it got up to temp, the heater wasn't blowing hot air. do you know why?

[steveestes]

Won't take forever. This guy did it the hard way. Remove the fans and shroud before taking out the radiator. You do not pull the whole assembly, as you can see. Use common This is a 30 min out 30 minute in job. 1 hour tops...

[nivanmondragon]

Do you now the radiator (part number) there are two types for this car?

[ApexxJimmy]

I didn't have a jack under the engine. could this be the reason my bolts snapped?

[nathanweisser]

Thanks a lot for this video. If anyone is wondering, I believe it's the same process for a monte carlo of the same year(s)

How long it take to replace at aye shop??

Dunno if you'll see this, but on the right hand side, under the radiator cap and reservoir tie in, on the back side of the radiator, I have an open hole that is letting coolant leak. I can't find a dangling hose or anything, and it looks like hoses are all attached. What part fell off my car??
