Easiest Way To Replace a Radiator
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- In this video I'll be showing you the quickest, easiest and least time consuming way to remove and replace a radiator which is part of your cars cooling system. This method does not really require you to lift and support your car on jack stands to drain the coolant from your car given you are comfortable with the coolant burning off your car later and have plenty of catch pans ready. This will work best on a 4 cylinder car but this procedure will give you a very good idea on how to go about replacing the radiator on any car. GL

I can't believe I found a 1992 Honda Prelude automatic radiator replacement video. I'm going to attemp this on my 92 Honda Prelude. Thanks for this video.
I've been doing my own auto work for decades, and never thought to take everything off/out through the top! Thanks for the tip!
After so many years of watching your videos I just wanted to say HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY RIGHT BACK AT YOU!
Nice work. I owned an '88 Accord that had a brake bleeder nipple at the highest point in the coolant system so you could remove all air following any service without opening the cooling system anywhere else! What a sweet design that was.
Great video as usual. Perfect time to change the lower radiator hose too--especially if there is no access from the bottom. Having to do this whole procedure to change a hose is a pain, so good insurance to just do it.
Great tip on putting the clamps back in same spots over the indents on the old hoses 👍
But I have new hoses 😮
I never did this but as a precaution I would put a piece of cardboard on the exposed radiator side to prevent any fins from getting damaged.
Hey RnW! Glad to see you back on a regular basis!
Nice one. Glad you're back working on cars. Better than growing plants 👍. You need to buy frame machine and paint booth and start repairing heavily crashed luxury and exotic cars from auction. Theres the money now on UA-cam.. But 15-16 years of general mechanics work videos got UA-cam overflowing. Nobodys watching anymore. Any young brat makes videos for repairing and diagnostic. Consider this 👍
Actually the easiest way to change a radiator is have someone else do it while you relax in the shade enjoying a tasty beverage.
Oh... why didn't the rest of us think of that??
....Gosh you're out of touch
Might as well drain the coolant too and replace that so the new rad is getting good juice.
I suggest a solid aluminum radiator. Those plastic top and bottom radiators always leak.
Its a budget flip.... I mean build
They all leak eventually.
By the time the replacement radiator leaks the car is scrap
I live in summers of 114° in a black car
I'm not sure more metal is the right thing for my situation.
Another great video
Good video, hopefully works for all car models & makes, or at least from 08 & below, thanks for sharing & thumbs up
Real men crawl under to do it.
Wish I could do this method on my 1994 Chevy van.
I miss you man
Nice job.
I wonder if working on that takes you back
It does :)
@@myRatchets Enjoy reflecting back to the knowledge you had back then and now!
Flushing might a good idea too.
Thank you for Such a great video
Make sure the bolts are the right ones. If they are too long they might hit a part of the plastic or aluminum and cause a leak.
Use the old bolts its just those nutz you have to use.
@@myRatchets That's what I would've said had you not.
9:33 Something came in the mail today.
Yeah that's what she said👍
Cool bro 👍🤘
I have a 96 Toyota Camry and I changed the radiator and the thermostat and my car is still over heating please help i sure need guidance
So I catch all the old fluid.
Now what?
How do I dispose of it?
Take to local city/county hazardous waste facility
So do you need to top off radiator fluid since some came out orrrrrr
Cool. 😎
The easiest way is to buy a 6 pack and call the neighbor.
Great video i like all your vids MY QUESTION is at 5:23 how can we lose transmission fluid,isnt it the coolant line to the transmission? Do you mean lose coolant or transmission fluid? Thanks
both engine coolant and transmission fluid run thru separate passes in radiator.trans fluid acts as both lube for transmission as well as cooling fluid for the trans because of the pass it makes thru radiator.motor oil is how engine is lubricated but water/antifreeze is pushed thru engine block to carry away excess heat via the radiator.so both engine coolant and trans fluid are being pumped thru radiator same time,separate passages.

10:40 why are the fans different? One fan has four blades, the other has 5 and the motors look different. Was one of them replaced before or is there another reason?
Usually with 2+ fans the larger/more powerful is triggered via coolant temp, the other is for when the AC compressor comes on to cool the condenser, as well as to give auxiliary cooling to the radiator.

lol. that's what she said.
That would be to have someone else do it. . .
Easiest way is to pay someone
