Hey man I just wanted to comment and say thank you for making this video. I’ve never worked on a car before and with your video I just replaced my radiator by myself! You’re awesome!

[@ericgantt9394]

watched so many videos for this got a quote of 700$ to replace my 2011 sv max and this was the best explained video so far man THANKS!

[@stevenmikolajewski5738]

Thanks guys! Nice video! I watched this before I did my 2008 Maxima. I wanted to give a heads up to anyone doing a 2008 Maxima radiator replacement.
The 2008 is much simpler. Remove the front nose, battery, battery tray, hoses. Then the trick is to remove the cooling fan wiring harness. It is held in place by plastic clips. Then remove the fasteners holding the cooling fan assembly in place. Then pull it straight up and out. Then, with a little finesse, you can carefully pull the radiator up and out.
Thanks again for the video.

Even years later you’re still helping👍🏾. Thank you very much. My upper transmission cooler line is leaking a little bit I think it’s the clamp being weak. Easy fix💯

[@geeaye64]

Thanks for your tips. I may have to do this same task on my neighbor's car in a few days,

[@JamesL3000]

[@user-up5bu4ze1i]

Thanks for sharing

[@DavidTorres1969]

Wowwwww good info with all the details Thanks

[@HoodwinkRicky]

Solid video. Great job 👏🏿👏🏿

[@RichTran365]

What is the second catch tray for? Not the bucket with the coolant in it, is it catching transmission fluid or is it just water?

[@Brandon-ec9kw]

I have a 2014 Maxima and i can see through the grill and the condenser (i thought was the actual radiator) was bent in very similar way to that one. The AC works and I’ve driven 250 plus miles at one time and the engine never seems to over heat... should i be alright?

[@mikefrancisco6336]

Awesome video life saver

[@jjaguilar9435]

So if I’m just replacing the top two radiator hoses what would you recommend to get to the clamp closes to the radiator I’m swapping mine out and bought the to upper hoses and filler cap as all one unit Nissan only sells it that way and the clamp is upside down like on the hose in your video

[@migueluribe3204]

You guys make it look so easy 😮
How many hours labor is that job?

[@lorenzocosta9992]

That’s how you do a video gg brother

[@crazylife7902]

How did you get the transmission cooler lines reinstalled? It's a difficult position to reinstall it from. If couldn't get the connector to the condenser off as well.

[@FreeAgent01]

How did you put back on the Trans coolant hose back on .. very hard to get to ?? .. (bottom hose)

[@WizzRacing]

Take the battery out. You can reach all of them from the back side real easy...

[@smokeawood1941]

What’s the 2nd tray for

[@sureshpatil4028]

Thank you

[@EricAlmighty]

Thank you!!!

[@christianwilson4975]

Alright I’m trying to put a new radiator in my Maxima and I can’t get the drain plug to fit into it’s slot due to the housing for the fans, any tips?

[@andreagarcia2228]

what kind of tool are you using to remove the screws?

[@phantommarquez3713]

I replaced the condenser and radiator I plugged everything back but for some reason my car fans stay on and is now over heating nothing is leaking what could it possibly be?

[@jontewatson6434]

Temp sensor

[@modealsalem1]

How much the pressure for Cap Assy- radiator .. 137 or what ?

[@TheThesweetgee]

Thought that coolant was blue for Nissans?

[@layzy24]

How did you know it was a bad radiator? You never told us how you diagnosed it.

[@johnhendershot9027]

Can anyone verify what the little cooler on the passenger side in front of the condenser is for?

[@kjbreaux16]

Probably power steering cooler

[@autorepairdudes7116]

Yes power steering

[@WizzRacing]

I tried to explain to my customers why the labor to replace the Fans is $400.00...You have to remove all that shit plus the support frame. As the Fans are built into it....

[@autorepairdudes7116]

Yeah they just see the $ amount and freak out like it should be way less but this is one of those cars that everything is difficult to get to

[@ABs70nova]

Childish mistake. You need to do an inspection of the vehicle and find a bent to hell condenser. Childs mistake. Common sense. But I guess your job is as a pos wholesale dealer mechanic so who gives a fuck right?

[@autorepairdudes7116]

Damn lol someone’s butt hurt 😂
