START BY:a. remove hoodb. remove fan guard1. Drain the coolant from the cooling system. 2. Loosen two hose clamps (1), and disconnect hose (3) and tube (2) as a unit from the radiator. Turn inlet tube (2) in the lower hose to provide clearance when the radiator and guard are removed.
Always wear goggles when working on air conditioning systems. The system is under pressure at all times, engine running or not. Escaping Freon-12 (C C12 F2 Dichloro Difluoro Methane) can cause freezing of human flesh.Do not smoke while working on air conditioning systems. Inhaling Freon-12 through any smoking material, although not toxic or flammable, can generate phosgene gas and cause violent illness. Also, heat must never be applied to a charged system. See Air Conditioning And Heating Service Manual, Form No. SENR7454, for more information on removal and installation of lines and refrigerant from the system.
