thorpe991 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 So some of you may know that i had to replace a coolent hose acouple days ago well today i fired her up to let her run about ten minutes in it started steaming from the hood so i shut her down opened the hood to air it out and after it cleared and seamed safe to breath i started checking lines and realized my radiator cracked so how hard is it to replace the radiator?

CNAM Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Very easy to replace.. Cost should be around 120$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Peace of cake, Undo the hose, take off the fan shroud (pro tip, let it rest on the fan) and then remove the two screw that hold the rad brackets, and slide the pile out!! Easy peasy -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNAM Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Most likely the AC. It is separate and will not change anything as far as the radiator swap goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Its very easy to do. Just as others have said. Do you need to get it done right away? Or can you wait a few days? Because these guys have a awesome radiator for the R50s with free shipping.

fixinto Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) If you have an auto trans you will have to undo you trans lines from the radiator before you pull it. Otherwise pretty much as the others said above. Pat Edited August 30, 2014 by fixinto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Would now be a good time to put in a aftermarket trans cooler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yes it would. I recommend the Hayden 679. Can be had for about $60 +/-. One of the largest plate style coolers. Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelord Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 They should have it. The plate style are a lot more efficient than the tube and fin style Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
