radiator removal V70-XC70 1999

You go from the top and the bottom. Basically everything is mounted to the radiator up there. The intercooler, the condenser, the fan shroud, the relays and solenoids, etc. Remove the airguide underneath and you will see two 10mm bolt heads, one in either lower corner, remove these. Now look behind the inner corners of the headlamps and you will see two more, remove these. These bolts are what hold the condenser to the radiator. Remove the electric fan,remove the fan shroud, disconnect the oil cooler and trans cooler hoses (no oil cooler on the non turbos), drain the coolant and remove the hoses, remove the air inlet housing and duct that goes to the air box, if turbo charged then remove the intercooler hoses top and bottom. At this point it should be pretty much ready to come out, remove the two 12mm bolts that go up from underneath and actually mount the radiator to the frame. Once loose you can pull it out with a little effort. Unless you've done a few of these and have a couple of special tools for getting into the tight places necessary to get the upper 10mm bolts out you will probably find this radiator to be a royal pain in the ass because as I stated earlier, everything is bolted to it. Make sure you stuff in a new thermostat while you are there.


Good luck
Mark
