Removal/Replacement
1. When the engine is cool, drain the coolant from the radiator.- Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot; the coolant is under pressure and could severely scald you.
- Keep hands away from the radiator fan. The fan may start automatically without warning and run for up to 30 minutes, even after the engine is turned off.
CAUTION: Radiator coolant will damage paint. Quickly rinse any spilled coolant from painted surfaces.
2. Disconnect the heater hoses at the heater.
NOTE: Coolant will run out when the hoses are disconnected, drain it into a clean drip pan.
3. Disconnect the heater valve cable from the heater valve.
4. Remove the dashboard.
5. Remove the heater duct.
6. Remove the instrument sub-pipe.
7. Remove the heater mounting nuts (4), then remove the heater assembly.
8. Install in the reverse order of removal, and:
- Apply sealant to the grommets.
- Do not interchange the inlet and outlet hoses. Make sure that the hose clamps are secure.
- Loosen the bleed bolt on the engine and refill the radiator and reservoir tank with the proper coolant mixture.
- Tighten the bleed bolt when all the trapped air has escaped and coolant begins to flow from it.
- Connect all cables and make sure they are properly adjusted.
