In a 1999 chrysler sebring convertible does the engine come out the bottom or through the top?
If the tranny is removed from the bottom first, then you can remove the engine from the top after removing the front bumper cover, upper and lower radiator supports, radiator and condenser, and hood. Or, you could remove the tranny and engine from the bottom as a unit, but you'll still need to remove everything in front of the engine so that you can first move it forward about 8 to 10 inches so that the rear exhaust clears the rear crossover support (that has the power steering rack on it).

How do you get a 1996 Ford Explorer radiator completely out of the truck?
You'll also need to get a wrench to hold the fan while you remove the bolts that hold it onto the pulley because you have to take off the fan to get the radiator out. Well first you should drain the coolant/antifreeze. There is a small faucet on the passenger side. Make sure that the engine is cold so you can remove the cap and also so you can hold the radiator. Once the coolant stops dropping remove the upper hose from the engine and then the lower hose that goes to the engine. Be careful with the lower hose since is lower that the faucet and still has coolant. Then remove the pipes from the transmission using a 3/8 wrench, the lower one will spill some oil. After that just remove the fan cover and then the radiator itself. There are only bolts on top once removed them just pull up.
How do you replace coolant on a Chrysler voyager 1999?
First, remove the radiator cap. If car is still warm, turn radiator cap about 1/4 turn to relieve the pressure. Then, I find it much easier to remove the lower radiator hose from the radiator. It's much quicker than draining it from the petcock.
How do you unplug radiator plug?
If you mean a freeze plug, that is usually in the engine block, not in the radiator. Maybe you mean a clogged radiator. If that is the case. First you would flush it out with water. You can remove the hose from the bottom. Then reattach the hose and add water and a chemical radiator flush product that you can buy from the auto supply store. Drive for about an hour of more. Then flush out the radiator again. Refill the radiator with water and see if your engine runs cool enough. If all that does still does not work go to a radiator shop and have them rod it out. If they can't do that, you may have to put in a new radiator. Good luck. One more thing. You may also want to check the thermostat.
