With the tabs slightly squeezed, install the drain plug housing into the new radiator hole, then push the housing in until the tabs snap in place.
16. Position the new radiator in place in the engine compartment.
17.Tighten the radiator mounting bolts, using the wrench and ratchet, ratchet extension and socket.
18. Regulate the filter plug by participation and let the coolant empty from the radiator, then store the coolant in a defended levy for following recycling.4. Unplug the temperature sensor electrical connector from the air intake ducts and remove the intake ducts and cleaner housing, using a Phillips screwdriver and ratchet, ratchet extent and socket.5.
20. Install the splash shield under the engine compartment using the ratchet, ratchet extension and socket.
21. Lower your Saturn to the ground, using the floor jack.
22. Connect the lower radiator hose and install the spring clamp, using the rib joint pliers.
23. Position the cooling fan assembly on the engine compartment and plug the electrical connector. Carefully lower the assembly in place and make sure it seats on the lower mounting clips. Tighten the two upper mounting bolts, using the ratchet, ratchet extension and socket.
24. Connect the upper transmission cooler line to the radiator, if your Saturn model is equipped with an automatic transmission, using the flare wrench.
25. Connect the upper radiator hose and install the spring clamp, using the rib joint pliers.
26
Install the cleaner housing and air intake ducts, using the Phillips screwdriver and ratchet, ratchet extension and socket. Plug the temperature sensor electrical connector onto the air intake ducts.
27
Make sure the radiator drain plug is closed and refill the radiator with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water.
28
Check for coolant leaks at the radiator hose fittings.
29
