How do you install a radiator in a 1998 ford contour?"
Replace, flush, or repair, depending on what the problem is.
Look for a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
How do you take off a radiator for a 98 Buick Regal
The coolant fan switch on a 1998 Contour is located at the front of the engine, near the radiator. It controls the speed and operation of the cooling fan based on the actual engine temperature.
It is not at the end of the upper radiator hose. Please don't follow the first person answer.
Drain the water from the radiator. Remove the radiator hoses. Remove the radiator stabilizing arm. Remove the radiator retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new radiator.
by Tigercadd:The drain plug is at the bottom of the radiator, passenger side facing the engine compartment. Im not a Big mechanic or anything but i know a few basics, not every car has a drain plug for the radiator, if it does, it will be on the bottom of the rad. if it doesnt a simple way to drain the coolant would be to disconect the bottom rad hose and let the coolant drain through thatI have looked at the manual and from what I can remember, on the Ford Contour, you have to remove the plastic splashboard underneath the front part of the car before you can see the radiator drain plug on a 1998 Ford Contour. I have not actually changed the radiator fluid on my Contour but I know you will have to remove the bolts that hold the splashboard on and remove the splashboard before you can see the radiator drainplug.

My mechanic charged me around $200 to $300 just for labor. My total bill was around $400.00 +
How much labor will cost a person in order to install a clutch slave cylinder on a 1998 S10 will depend upon how much labor charges are. It should take a mechanic no longer than 30 minutes in order to install the clutch slave cylinder.
