Front mount Radiator install

AVR89 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-06-2008, 02:08 AM

Haven't found anything on this topic. I know it's pretty straight forward but is their any step by step posted anywhere. Or just basic tips?
Any input is appreciated
By the way they are Kya front mounts

Go slowly. Check for clearance everywhere.

You are likely going to have to make brackets yourself.

That's what I thought some good old fabrrication.
So hows that heavily modded beast of yours doing? Hibernation?

Just take your time and it should all work out fine.

You and Jason have never answered my question about:
How is it to inspect and or replace your "front spark plug" now, with the front mount rad. installed?

Does the radiator have to be removed?

+1 Theres no real instructions, cause each system is different.
But you will surely need to rig stuff to make it work.

Heres a few pics to get ya started. *totally different system than yours though.

Most likely yes. I just lower the entire assembly to access the front plug.

Jeff,
Unfortunately for those of us that have this set up, Jason's explanation is pretty much bang on with regards to accessing the front plug.
I hope this answers your question.
Cheers.

Yeah, this is good to know that you can just undo and just lower the rad. without having to completely removing it, hoses and what not to take it off, which was really what I was wondering.

Thanks guys, one of these days I'll get better at getting to the point.... Hahahaa
