Cooling Off - Cooling System Upgrade for Fifth Gen Honda Civic
|
After the engine has sufficiently cooled, Pro Street tech "Fat Kid" begins the job by disconnecting the battery's negative cable and raising the front of the Civic to empty the radiator. Pulling out the old stock unit involves emptying it of coolant (through a drain in the lower tank), detaching it from the compartment by disconnecting the fan motor and hoses, and ultimately removing the upper brackets and cushions that secure it to the radiator support. At that point, the exchanger is free enough to pull up and out. Those doing something similar should know that if the Civic has an auto transmission, cooler lines will also need to be disconnected. In addition, for accessibility, the coolant reservoir tank should be removed; it comes out by simply pulling it straight up. View Related Article
