Pontiac Repair: 1997 pontiac sunfire, 1997 pontiac sunfire, dual overhead cam

Question
How do I get the radiator out? Will not come out the top? To many parts in the way. Thanks!

Answer
Hey Davis.

Your right there are a lot of pieces in the way. If the car has A/C it makes way worse. The radiator comes out the front of the car you have to take off the brace that hold the hood latch assembly on first then the A/C condenser "if equipped" you have to drain the a/c system properly before you take that out. then the radiator comes out the front of the car not out the top. Sounds easier than it really is sorry. I don't design them I only have to fix em.... If and when you change it be careful when you refill the system with coolant and you run the car that you DO NOT over heat the engine. Especially the bas 4 cylinder not the dual overhead cam engine. The base engine is really hard to bleed the air out of... Good luck :)
