HOW TO REMOVE A RADIATOR FROM A TOYOTA COROLLA

Video Transcript

Hey. This is Eric from Velocity Labs with a quick DIY And Drive tutorial with Pull-A-Part Used Auto Parts. We're going to be pulling a radiator from this '99 Toyota Corolla. Radiators are a fairly straightforward pull, and you can do it with just a few basic hand tools.

We're going to start at the top and disconnect the upper radiator hose. Just use a pair of pliers to remove the metal clamp and slide the hose off. Do the same thing on the smaller bleed line right next to it. Next we'll take off the two upper brackets by removing the four bolts holding them in place. Once those are out, disconnect the two electrical connectors going to the radiator fans. One is on the driver side and one is on the passenger side. Now we'll move underneath the car and remove the lower radiator hose. This is the same process as the upper hose. Just use a pair of pliers to slide the metal clamp off. There's also a few more smaller lines to disconnect here as well that go to the transmission. The first one will be right next to the large lower radiator hose. The second one is hidden behind a plastic cover. Pop off a few of the bolts holding it in place and then disconnect the other small line the same way as the other line.

Once those lines are all disconnected the radiator should be free. Remove it from the vehicle by lifting it up and out and then you can head up to checkout.
