Radiator
« on: September 25, 2017, 20:31:42 »
Hey...do I need to drain the freon from the condensor to get the radiator out, or can I just seperate them and pull the radiator out the top?

Any tips would be great.

Thanks

There should be enough flex on the A/C lines to push the condenser out of the way but it will depend on your setup. Older and later dealer installed A/C systems had 2 condensers (1 behind the bumper) Radiator can be removed from the top (with hood removed) or bottom. Be sure to check that the condenser is not bolted through and fastened to the radiator.
