Cooling System (Mechanical): Cooling: Radiator: Disassembly
- REMOVE RADIATOR DRAIN COCK PLUG
- Remove the drain cock plug.
- Remove the O-ring from the drain cock plug.
- ASSEMBLE SST
SST 09230-01010 (09231-01010, 09231-01030)
- Install the claw onto the overhaul handle by inserting it in the hole at part A as shown in the illustration.
- While gripping the handle, adjust dimension B to between 0.2 and 0.3 mm using the stopper bolt.
Standard dimension B: 0.2 to 0.3 mm (0.008 to 0.012 in.
NOTE: If the stopper bolt is not adjusted, the claw may be damaged.
- UNCAULK CORE PLATE
- Straighten the core plate by gripping it with SST until stopped by the stopper bolt.
SST 09230-01010 (09231-01010, 09231-01030)
- Straighten the core plate by gripping it with SST until stopped by the stopper bolt.
- REMOVE RADIATOR TANK LH
- Lightly tap the bracket of the radiator tank (or radiator tank pipe) with a soft-faced hammer to remove the radiator tank.
- Remove the O-ring.
- REMOVE RADIATOR TANK RH
HINT:
Perform the same procedures as the radiator tank.
- INSPECT RADIATOR CORE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Check the core plate for damage.
HINT:
- If the sides of the core plate groove are deformed, it is impossible to reassembly the radiator tank. Therefore, first correct any deformation using pliers or a similar tool.
- Water leakage will occur if the bottom of the core plate groove is damaged or dented. Repair or replace it if necessary.
NOTE: The radiator can only be recaulked 2 times. After being recaulked 2 times, the radiator assembly must be replaced.
