Flatblade screwdriver. Would likely be easier if you moved the Power Steering pump, but its possible without doing that too.
If they are original they have no grease fittings If they are replacement they will have grease fitting on the side - special fitting for your grease gun will be required (Thinner than normal)
As you stand in front of your Jeep, the radiator drain plug sticks out the bottom of the left side. With a large gathering container on the floor, loosen the drain plug with an open-end wrench (or more suitable tool if you have one) only until the coolant flows through the spout, it's made so you don't have to (or want to) completely remove it. Now empty, you can either use a flush-N-fill kit, or if you're on a budget, run water at moderate pressure through a garden hose at the radiator cap opening for 20-30 seconds and let it drain. Tighten the drain plug and refill with a good mix 60/40 or whatever's best for where you live. [Take care to refill slowly - even though OEM radiators are supposed to purge air pockets, I had already installed a new aftermarket radiator and didn't want to take any chances. Air pockets can cause cooling system malfunctions and engine damage in a general sense, I'm not enough of a technician to list specifics.] Good luck !
With two special tools, a slim 36mm wrench and a spanner to hold the pulley.
The 242 uses ATF The 247 uses a special fluid form the dealer.
You pour it down the dipstick tube. They make special funnels just for this. Check with your local auto parts store.
I assume you are refering to the radiator overflow bottle. The required coolant is red 5 year antifreeze(not dexcool).
No, any antifreeze/coolant will do.
You need a special tester called a block check. You fill it with a special fluid and then use it to suck fumes out of the radiator . if the fluid turns yellow it means there is exhaust gasses in the coolant.
The assumption is, the engine is hot and if you open the radiator cap you will be sprayed with hot radiator coolant. If I'm not mistaken, didn't the 95 Buick use the "permanent" radiator coolant? If so, don't change it until the specified time. Just don't open it while it's hot. Do it when the car is cool.
The easiest way to drain the coolant on a Northstar is to pull the lower radiator hose off. There is a petcock on the lower left (driver side) of the radiator but it's almost impossible to get to without a special tool.
The easiest way is to pull the lower radiator hose. There is a petcock on the bottom of the radiator, but it's a pain to get to without a special tool. Pop the hose and you'll get about 85% of the coolant out. Have a large drain bucket handy. Make sure the engine is cool.
Drive it. No special steps necesary, if radiator had coolant changed it will bleed its self, top off after it gets to full operating temperature then cools, Never pop a hot radiator cap
Start with a cold engine.Remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator with Dexcool coolant (I think it's a red/pink color, not the usual green. DO NOT use any other product.)If the radiator was very low, start the car and add coolant as far as you can. Running a cold engine without the cap won't harm anything and allow air to escape from the cooling system.Replace the cap and add coolant to the overflow bottle. I fill it to the "cold line" so that I can see if it needs more over time.Drive the car and check for changes in the cold level. If coolant is still being lost then you must decide if you want to continue replacing coolant or take it to a shop for proper repair.
COULD BE ATF LEAK TRANNY FLUID GETS COOLED BY RADIATOR MAYBE BAD RAD. CAR RUNNING HOT? 91 Seville's use coolant tabs from factory, that can lead people to think they have engine problems. You should have your car a check by a mechanic who can use special tools to check for blown head gaskets or other problems.
you can buy a bottle of water wetter that you pour into your radiator that will lower your water temperature about 10 degrees, summit racing and jegs sell it.
If your radiator is completely full of coolant (check first), then on the passenger side there is a white box with a black cap that sits right behind the battery. That is your coolant reservoir. Any additional coolant would be filled into that reservoir. Also you should know what coolant your vehicle has running in it. GM uses their own special coolant known as DEXCOOL which is a long life coolant. Mixing DEXCOOL with any other coolant reduces it's life and cooling effeciency. So be sure to match what coolant you already have and you'll be alright.
It has the special bleeding bolt in the bottom part of the radiator, when you are facing the car it should in right bottom corner of the radiator. It also has one bleeding bolt on the engine facing radiator (just behind the exhaust manifold) You are suppose to loosen it when you are doing full flush. Torque 25 N*m
