Radiator Help Plz

if this is a 91 loyale i have swapped a radiator on that before. it 'should' be a simple job but the fan connected to the crank pulley makes it a real bitch. there isn't much clearance between the fan and the radaitor, so if you take off the fan to get the new rad in its going to be a bitch to bolt it back on.

i had help from a buddy and basically we just rammed the new rad in without taking off the crank pulley fan. he was pushing from the top and i was guiding it under the car.. we bent a few fins on the side facing the block.. but whatever.. it was way better than the old rad that had almost all its fins rusted out

you need to just take the fan shroud off, the electric fan needs to come out of the car for clearance, and take the hose off.. ideally you'll take off the fan on the crank.. but that's up to you.

its sort of a PITA because of the tight clearance.. but maybe this isn't a loyale and i just posted for nothing

and how much are you getting that old rad for? it might be worth it get a new rad if you are planning to keep the beater for a while.. mine cost $130usd shipped from radiator.com
