How do I remove the screw/bolt holding the AC unit lines to the radiator on the driver side.
On the 4 cylinder Saturn, follow the top radiator hose back to the engine. Note that there is a housing that is bolted to the engine to which the radiator hose is connected. Remove the radiator hose first, then remove the housing. On the 4 cylinder Saturn's, the thermostat is a part of that housing.
No, you do not have to remove the engine to replace a radiator hose.No, you do not have to remove the engine to replace a radiator hose.
No you have to order them because they are specially molded.
Below the AC compressor. Follow the hose at the bottom of the radiator and the housing it is connected to is what you need to remove.
Look for a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose you will have to drain the radiator fluid first because the thermostat is fairly low Follow the lower radiator hose on the passenger side to the engine its in a housing so you have to remove the radiator hose then the thermostat cover with the 2 bolts
The location will more than likely depend on the model of Saturn
It will be on the very bottom of the radiator either the left or right side. If you do not see a drain plug it might not have one. If it does not have one it requires you to remove the lower radiator hose to drain the radiator.
Follow the top radiator hose to the engine, what that mounts to is the thermostat housing, remove this and there is your thermostat. * ** *** **** ***** Actually, on my 1997 SL2, the thermostat is on the bottom radiator hose. I would check the "Saturn Thermostat Pictures" link below, which also has installation and removal instructions.
Drain the radiator. Remove the lower radiator hose from the motor. Unbolt the hose inlet, and remove the thermostat. Replace the thermostat and the inlet, the hose, and refill the radiator.
Probably on the engine end of the upper radiator hose Probably on the engine end of the upper radiator hose
use a screw driver and remove hose clamps on both ends of radiator hose, remove hose, wooow is this question a joke?
Drain off the radiator coolant into a clean drain pan. Loosen radiator hose clamps. Remove radiator hose. Install in reverse order.
