How do you replace radiator 1996 suzuki sidekick?

Answer 1

To replace the radiator in a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick, start by draining the coolant from the system by opening the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator. Next, disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses, as well as any electrical connections or transmission cooler lines attached to the radiator. Remove the mounting bolts securing the radiator in place and carefully lift it out of the vehicle. Install the new radiator by reversing these steps, ensuring all connections are secure and the system is properly filled with coolant.
