REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
1. Drain the cooling system. Remove the overflow tube from the coolant recovery bottle and from the
radiator.
When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are
quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove
fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless
it is contaminated or several years old.
2. If necessary, remove the air cleaner outlet tube from the throttle body.
