How do you install a radiator in a Jeep Cherokee?

Answer by  Amber40 (24961)

First drain the radiator then take any panel off that are in the way. Then remove the hoses followed by any bolts holding the radiator in place. Unhook any electrical connectors. The assembly should slide out. Be careful not to damage it. Then revers the process.

Locate the screws in the front bumper and unscrew them all (2 on the sides and about 4 at the front). Then its a simple matter of locating the screws for the radiator support, locating the piping and replacing the new radiator exactly the same as the old one.

Depending on the year of your vehicle the radiator will be installed differently but generally the same steps. You need to first remove all the screws on the top of the radiator that connect to the frame of the car. Then you need to drain out the anti freeze, then the hose then all you need is to pull out.

First properly disable the vehicle (pull battery cable, engage park, block wheels). Find the petcock on the radiator at the bottom, open and drain the coolant into an approved container for safe disposal. Loosen clamps and remove hoses. Remove shrouds and radiator base bolts. Lift out. Reverse the steps, add coolant, and check level often.

Without knowing the year it hard to describe. Typically you can drain the radiator, undo some clamps and unbolt the radiator. On some model you might need disassemble the support.
