To replace the
Radiator surge tank inlet hose/pipe, drain the cooling system first. Remove the Radiator support. Remove the hose clamp pliers (J 38185) to drop the tension and redo the surge tank inlet hose clamp in surge tank, followed by disconnecting surge tank inlet hose from surge tank. Repeat this process with
Throttle Body assembly and the Radiator using the hose clamp pliers (J 38185) each time to adjust the clamps while removing the hoses. After the removal of the surge tank inlet hose assembly in the vehicle, apply clean coolant on the inside diameters of the new hoses, and install them before using it. Looking for the hose clamp assembly, connect it to the Radiator and reposition the hose clamp at the Radiator; with the help of the hose clamp pliers (J 38185) replace the hose clamp and tighten. Therefore, connect the hose to the Throttle Body assembly again, repositioning the clamp again with the hose clamp pliers (J 38185), and, finally, connect the hose to the surge tank and secure the clamp using the hose clamp pliers (J 38185) for the last time. Reinstall the Radiator support and install the cooling system.
