Radiator/Cooling System
Metric sockets, extensions, large pliers, and waste container/bucket.
Mustang radiator and fan shroud w/overflow reservoir. Refer to Appendix B.
Try to avoid spilling used coolant.
Take care when handling the Mustang radiator.
When removing the A/C system make sure that an authorized service center evacuates the Freon in your
A/C system. Dispose of hazardous waste correctly.
If your car was in a front collision and the radiator shroud and reservoir were damaged and you would
like to use them, the Ford part number for the shroud is E6ZZ-8146-A and the reservoir part number is
F2ZZ-8A080-B.
Place a bucket under the radiator drain petcock on the lower passenger side of the radiator
Loosen the radiator drain petcock with pliers.
Collect all of the used coolant and dispose of the coolant properly (local garage or parts store).
Loosen and remove the upper radiator hose clamp at engine block. There may be residual fluid in hoses so try to
avoid spilling.
Loosen and remove the upper and lower hose clamps at the radiator.
Remove the upper radiator hose.
Use duct tape or zip ties to secure the lower radiator hose up to the power steering pump area so that it will not
spill fluid as the engine is removed later.
Remove the fan clutch from the water pump shaft so that it is sitting in the fan shroud.
Loosen the bolts on the brackets at the top of radiator.
Lift the radiator, shroud and the fan up and out of the engine bay. Discard the 1987-1993 fan. Keep the shroud.
You will not need the 1987-1993 Mustang fan since a 16" electric fan is included in the kit.
If the car was fitted with A/C, remove the condenser at this time.
If you started with a good running car that has the A/C system intact it's your environmental
responsibility to have the Freon removed and disposed of safely. Do not release this into the ozone.
Store the radiator, fan shroud and overflow reservoir in a safe place.
