Volvo: volvo 850 turbo radiator change, volvo 850, condensor


Question
i have a crack in my radiator i purchased a new one i was just wondering if there is a special tool i have to get to change it?  and how hard or long do you think it would take?

Answer
Mike,
When I do one in my shop it takes about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. No special tools other than hand tools a torx set for the a ratchet, a 1/4 mm set comes in handy for the bolts you take out of the condensor and patients.  I use a spreader set of pliers to open the clamp rings for the cooler lines. It drops out the bottom and is attached to the intercooler.
