replaced my radiator!!!

[muthiahmerchant]

I have a 99 Infiniti i30 with 181000 miles. My radiator was leaking and the mechanic suggested replacing it. After reading all the different posts and getting a Hanes manual decided to do it. Not so easy as every one claims. Took me 2 1/2 hrs. Getting 15 or so screws from the bottom of the cars will give you all sorts of body ache. After putting the new radiator in, getting the clamps back on was taking a long time. Even now they are not where they are suppose to be. Get some clamps with screws on them. Was not sure how to remove the air thingy on top of the radiator all together. I just removed the two screws on top and loosened it and removed the radiator in the small gap. Not the right way, but after draining all the fluid and removing all the screws, i didn't want to stop.

Next time try referring to the Nissan FSM for your model as it walks through removal and installation of components. Glad you did get it taken care of, good job
