gonna have to replace a radiator for a 96 accord non-vtec this weekend...

any tips or anythin gi should know on how to do this or does chiltons make a pretty good step by step method. thanks

 

this is the easiest way to do this:
Drain the radiator
Undo the upper hose AT the radiator.
Remove the intake boot and undo the lower hose at the thermostat housing.
Remove the tranmission ATF cooler lines (if automatic) at the transmission
There is a bracket holding the A/C line (if equipped) to the body, remove the 2 bolts and swing the bracket out of the way.
Unclip ALL electrical connectors that are attached to the radiator and fans.
Remove the brackets on each side of the radiator.
Pull the radiator upwards, fans and everything, making sure to "snake" the lower hose under the A/C line.

Only important things to remember, are the rubber grommets at the bottom of the radiator. Don't lose them. And remember HOW the lower hose is pointed in relation to the radiator, and install it the same way onto the new one. Pretty damn simple, should take you less than .5 hours.

 

thats what i like to hear

and yes both auto and AC will apply here but i think i'll figure her out
