Clean bugs and dirt from the radiator using compressed air and a soft brush, being careful not to bend the cooling fins. For installation, follow the reverse order of the removal procedure. Ensure that the rubber mounts are in place on the bottom of the radiator. After installation, fill the cooling system with the appropriate mixture of antifreeze and water. Start the engine and check for leaks. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature, indicated by both radiator hoses becoming hot. Recheck the coolant level and add more if necessary. On models equipped with an automatic transmission, check and add fluid as needed.
