How to Change to a Smaller Radiator

    • 1). Allow the radiator to completely cool to avoid burning yourself. Place the drain pan under the drain valve and remove the valve with a box wrench. Drain the fluid into the pan.

    • 2). Remove all other hoses with a ratchet set as well as the mounting bolts securing the radiator to the frame. Pull the radiator off the frame of the engine compartment.

    • 3). Place the new, smaller radiator onto the frame of the engine compartment and insert the mounting bolts and tighten them until snug. Connect the hose to the radiator and fill the new radiator.
