2. Position the radiator into the vehicle. Install A/C condenser core into lower retaining clips on radiator.
3. Install upper supports and secure with bolts.
4. Install two upper A/C condenser core-to-radiator retaining bolts. Tighten to 8-11 Nm (71-97 inch lbs.).
5. Connect the fluid transmission cooler lines while using a back-up wrench to hold fitting. Tighten to 25-28 Nm (19-20 ft. lbs.).
6. Connect the upper radiator hose, lower radiator hose and de-aeration hoses.
7. Close the radiator draincock (8115).
