Also, I didn't remove the fan relay, nor headlights. I just wanted to let you know that I was able to remove my radiator without disconnecting the air conditioner compressor, a/c condenser, nor did I have to disconnect the rubber connector hoses between the transmission lines and transmission line connectors at radiator. that would explain why the 2000 FSM i was using wasnt entirely accurate. I would be interested to know what the subtle differences are between the. besides, (step 24) by the time the header panel is removed, its just as simple to pull the whole stupid thing. i think i would have to disconnect the aux cooler lines from the radiator to get this to work and its much easier to do that with the whole set up removed. however, im not sure if i could separate the condensor from the radiator while its still in the jeep because the aux cooler is mounted to the condensor which is mounted to the radiator. i dont think pulling it added too much time to the process, but it did add to the cost (refilling the a/c). Im curious to try the method of not having to disconnect the condensor. several times within the first few hundred miles. this makes the third time in as many months. Make sure you slide the bumper cover over the (white) plastic guides on the bottom of the fendersĢ6) Recharge the A/C system at the low-side service port (near the coolant reservoir tank)įunny thing, i have to do this again because the lower tranny cooler inlet line is leaking due to a defect in the radiator. OPTIONAL: Use a radiator pressure tester to make sure the system holds pressure (do this with the engine OFF)Ģ3) Attach headlamp wiring harnesses and reinstall headlampsĢ5) Reinstall front fascia using all hardware from removal and new plastic rivetsĪ. Tighten the bleeder valve when coolant starts to flow out of itġ8) Install radiator cap onto radiator filler neckġ9) Run Jeep at idle with high heat (maximum temperature setting) on recirculate for 10 to 15 minutes to check for any leaks in transmission lines or coolantĪ.

I went a bit above and beyond what was necessary as preventive maintenance and because it was extremely easy to replace some things when the front of the Jeep was disassembled (i.e. Obviously, you can replace only what's necessary in your situation. ![]() ![]() **This is pretty much everything that I used, but it would obviously be good to have an assortment of tools available in case you run into unexpected complications, etc.
