To replace the thermostat: 1.

The water outlet is at the engine end of the upper radiator hose. 3. Remove the old thermostat, if present. Clean any gasket residue off of the thermostat housing and the water outlet. Install a new gasket and thermostat, reinstall the water outlet and fill the radiator with coolant. Check for leaks.

How do you drain the radiator on a 2000 Chevy Impala and what do you do after you refill it with antifreeze?

Usually there is a drain on the drivers side on the lower bottom towards the motor and it actually drains from the very bottom of the radiator. It's almost like a wing nut unscrew it and before you drain it make sure your radiator cap is off, then tighten it back. Depending on where you live, you can by the antifreeze already in the gallon mixed 50/50. When the car is running and your filling it up it will act like it is full, rev the motor up a little and it will be able to put more in it. Then check your over flow tank to make sure its at the right level!!

How do you drain radiator in 2005 Chevy Cobalt?

There is a petcock on the bottom corner of the passenger side on the radiator. If you turn the petcock and open the valve the coolant will drain out of the drain hole on the bottom passenger side of the radiator. Make sure you have a big bucket to catch the coolant in or you will be making a huge mess. The proper way to fill the radiator is to take the upper radiator hose off and pour the coolant in until the radiator is full. Then replace the radiator hose and fill the overflow to the correct level. Start the car and let it run till it is hot and the fans kick on (should be about 220F ~ 230F). Turn the car off and let it cool, then top off the overflow bottle. You should be fine to drive the car at this point, but after heating up the car again you may need to top it off again so keep some coolant handy. The cobalt uses dexcool.

How do you clean radiator corrosion?

To clean radiator corrosion, first make sure the radiator is cool. Remove the cap, and place a bucket under the radiator to catch the water. Open the drain cock on the bottom of the radiator. When empty, close the drain cock and pour a coolant flush into the radiator. Top it off with water. Replace radiator cap and run the engine for 10-minutes, with the heater going full blast. Turn the engine off and wait until the engine has cooled off. Drain radiator once more. Then, fill the radiator with a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and water.
