2001 elantra radiator. What tools are needed for replacement andinstallation.
Hello
2001 elantra radiator. What tools are needed for replacement and installation???I dont have alot of tools. I usually need to buy some when doing anything. A list of what is needed would be great. I have replaced a radiator on my 79 eldorado. It was a major pain (I stripped the trans line using plyers(wrong tool) and would like things to go more smoothly this time. Thanks for any help in advanced!!! |

Pliers (for hose clamps)
Ratchet 10mm socket 2" extension 12mm socket or wrench #3 Phillips screwdriver (optional-- for removing petcock). Here's how I'd do it: Drain radiator Remove upper hose (pliers) Remove fans (3 10mm bolts) Remove lower hose from engine (pliers) Remove trans cooler hoses from transmission (pliers) Remove radiator upper mounts (2 12mm bolts) Unbolt radiator from condensor (4 10mm bolts-- 2 on top, 2 about halfway down) Remove radiator from vehicle. Swap hoses from old to new radiator. Install in reverse. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |

And if so, will it damage the ac system? |
Re: 2001 elantra radiator. What tools are needed for replacement
You're unbolting the radiator from the condensor, not the compressor. As
long as you don't disconnect the a/c lines from the condensor-- which you shouldn't need to do-- you'll lose no refrigerant. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |
