RADIATOR: DISASSEMBLY

1. REMOVE RADIATOR DRAIN COCK PLUG
(a) Remove the drain cock plug.
(b) Remove the O-ring from the drain cock plug.





2. ASSEMBLE SST
SST: 09230-01010
09231-01010
09231-01030
(a) Install the claw onto the overhaul handle by inserting it in the hole at part A as shown in the illustration.
(b) While gripping the handle, adjust dimension B to between 0.2 and 0.3 mm using the stopper bolt.
Standard dimension B:
0.2 to 0.3 mm (0.008 to 0.012 in.)
NOTICE: If the stopper bolt is not adjusted, the claw may be damaged.





3. UNCAULK CORE PLATE
(a) Straighten the core plate by gripping it with SST until stopped by the stopper bolt.
SST: 09230-01010
09231-01010
09231-01030





4. REMOVE RADIATOR TANK LH
(a) Lightly tap the bracket of the radiator tank (or radiator tank pipe) with a soft-faced hammer to remove the radiator tank.
(b) Remove the O-ring.
5. REMOVE RADIATOR TANK RH
HINT: Perform the same procedures as the radiator tank.





6. INSPECT RADIATOR CORE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Check the core plate for damage.
HINT:
- If the sides of the core plate groove are deformed, it is impossible to reassembly the radiator tank. Therefore, first correct any deformation using pliers or a similar tool.
- Water leakage will occur if the bottom of the core plate groove is damaged or dented. Repair or replace it if necessary.
NOTICE: The radiator can only be recaulked 2 times. After being recaulked 2 times, the radiator assembly must be replaced.
