VAC Radiator Removal

Joe Kimbriel · Oct 16, 2014

My fine IT shop manual paragraph 120 says that radiator removal is self-evident. Well it isn't to me. Am I that stupid to think the whole front end has to come off?

Yup, HeHe,
Raise hood,take off the sheet metal grill, may have to cut screws off if rusted, Then the radiator has two braces from the front of the head up to the top corners, and a couple of bolts at the bottom of rad., plus hose conections, and it is off.

There are 2 9/16" nuts tucked under th e radiator. You may have to grind the nuts down to the threads to get them loose without twisting the studs off of the bottom of the radiator.

Nick,
Dead on on those two nuts.
Don't give up on the VA/VAC price sheets that you requested. I need the patience to set down for an hour and scan and send them to you.

No hurry on the price sheets. Thanks Nick

Thanks, All. I should have asked how to get to the part of removing the radiator. After a generator swing job and a couple of rusted bolts, and a sawsall I finally got to the radiator. Yep obvious then.

Thanks again, you guys are great,
