Pontiac Repair: radiator replacement, radiator replacement, hood latch


Question
1997 sunfire manual 2.2 i need to replace the radiator. how do i get the fan off the radiator and how do i replace the radiator?

Answer
Hi Tawnya:

The radiator comes out of the front of the car you have to remove the brace that the hood latch attaches to and then it comes out that way rather than from inside the engine compartment. I belive on that year sunfire the fan ia actually attached to radiator it's self. I think ther are 3 legs that hold that fan assembly to the radaitor. If this car has A/C the condenser has to be removed first before the radiator can come out. Good luck and happy holidays :}
