Did one of these yesterday and had the same issue with the lower hose clamp.. I also pulled the front bumper off and found it a lot easier to work with, but was a little bit more work..
I rather do more work then pay labor cost .looking to replace mines already have the part ordered just doning my research .i dont have torgue tools just regular wrench would taking the bumper off be easier for me to change radiator
there was maybe a way to take that impossible lower radiator hose off, mAB.. rap a loop wire or small bendable wire hanger around 1 1/2 of clip & pull(puking 1/2 of it towards other might losses it enough to turn it. good video chEf, lux prety impossible👋
What about the rubber bushings that sit on the bottom. I was hoping to find a video that shows which way they line up. I made the mistake of removing the old one and then ordering a new one, which arrived 1.5 wks later. So now I'm dealing with memory loss on how everything sits
The bushings are what keep the radiator in place there should be two bushings at the bottom on each side so the radiator just drops in on them to rest, there are also bushings between the radiator and condenser. The radiator slides onto those bushings to keep them together so you have to line up those first before you do the bottom ones or you’ll just be fighting it on
There is a clip that you have to push out in order to release the metal line once the clip is out you can get the line out that clip is what keeps it locked
@@vsmiata2177 is there a way to message you pictures to show what I'm looking at. There's a pipe on the ac condenser that looks like it's welded on there.
thank you for this video - you explained exactly how to free the condenser perfectly

Dude I should have done that, but your right more work. I wish it wasn’t such a tight fit smashed a couple knuckles on this one🤣

Quick question. First changing a radiator in general, workin on my personal.
Do I to support the motor when I take off just the one Motor Mount?
No sir it will be able to support itself from the trans and other mounts you’ll be good
Thanks bro.
Appreciate you
The problem I'm having now is my AC is not working do you think I did something wrong and would it be a sensor maybe the sensor
What is the part number
I need to see how you disconnected that one metal looking pipe
There is a clip that you have to push out in order to release the metal line once the clip is out you can get the line out that clip is what keeps it locked

@@maerenee8356 did you get it figured out?
My clamps were hard to get too. Stupid manufacturers
They never make it easy😭
Yet another person who doesn't show their work. Why waste time posting a video. Might as well be a slide show.
