  Q: How to remove and install a radiator in a Toyota Supra?

  A: Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Caution: If the stereo in your vehicle is equipped with an anti theft system, before detaching the cable. Drain the coolant. If the air cleaner housing is in the way, remove it. On models with a fan motor for the air conditioning condenser, unplug the condenser fan motor connector. On some models, you'll have to remove the lower shield to gain access to the lower hose clamps. Disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses and the overflow hose. If the coolant reservoir hose is in the way, detach it from the reservoir. On models with automatic transmissions, wipe the area around the oil cooler pipe unions and then detach these pipes from the radiator. Plug the end to prevent dirt from entering the pipes and fluid loss. Remove the bolts that attach the upper radiator shroud to the lower half of the shroud. Remove the small bottom portion of the fan shroud by undoing the two retaining clips. Remove the upper radiator retaining bolts. Carefully lift the radiator, complete with the fan shroud, straight up and remove it. Take care not to damage the cooling fins, spill coolant on the vehicle or scratch the paint. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. After installation, fill the cooling system with the proper mixture of antifreeze and water. Start the engine and check for leaks. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature, indicated by the upper radiator hose becoming hot. Recheck the coolant level and add more if required. If you're working on an automatic transaxle equipped vehicle, check and add fluid as needed.
