Removal from the vehicle
1. Drain the fluid from the radiator and cylinder block by removing the drain plugs in the lower radiator tank and on the cylinder block; open the body heater tap and remove the radiator cap from the filler neck.
2. Disconnect the hoses from the radiator.
3. Remove the fan shroud.
4. Loosen the bolts securing the radiator to the body and remove the radiator from the engine compartment.
Checking for leaks
The tightness of the radiator is checked in a bath of water.
1. After plugging the radiator pipes, supply air to it under a pressure of 0.1 MPa (1 kgf/cm²) and lower it into a bath of water for at least 30 s. No air leakage should be observed.
2. If minor damage to a brass radiator occurs, solder it with soft solder, and if significant, replace the radiator with a new one.
