11d.   Disconnect the plug that connects the fan 

to the main wiring harness.  That plug is 
between the cooling matrix and the dash 
panel, and the lock-tabs are on the short 
side of each plug. See Figure 8.77.

11e.   Make provision to collect coolant drained 

from the radiator.

11f.    Open the drain valve on the lower front 

edge of the radiator.  There is a channel in 
the threads that begins about 1/4” from 
the head.  It will begin to drain as soon as 
the channel clears the threads in the 
lower radiator tank. See Figure 8.78.

11g.  Remove the radiator cap                              

to speed draining.

NOTE: 

With the coolant drained from only the 

radiator, it can be removed with minimal fluid 
loss and minimal drainage.

11h.   Disconnect the front radiator hose from the 

lower (front) radiator tank using a 5/16” 
driver.  

11i.    Cap or tape the hose to prevent contami-

nation and minimize spillage.

11j.     Pull the over-flow tube (connecting the 

reservoir to the fitting on the radiator filler 
neck) out of the cap to the reservoir.   

11k.   Remove the hex-head screws that hold the 

cooling matrix to the frame using a 3/8” 
wrench.   There are holes in the air baffle 
for socket access.  See Figure 8.79.
