Radiator replacement

Hello
Thanks for the donation.

Replacement procedures for your Taurus's radiator are below.

NOTE: Fuel line disconnect tool set T90T-9550-S or equivalent is required to perform this procedure.

REMOVAL:
Disconnect the battery cables, negative cable first.
Remove the battery and the battery tray.
Unclip the constant control relay module and position it aside.
Remove the radiator cap.
Raise the vehicle and support it with jackstands.
Remove the radiator splash shields.

CAUTION: Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.

Drain the cooling system into a suitable container.
Remove the radiator mounting bracket assembly.
Disconnect the lower and upper radiator hoses and the overflow hose from the radiator.
Remove the A/C condenser retaining bolts.

Remove the transaxle oil cooler line bracket and position the oil cooler aside.
Remove the A/C condenser bracket and position the A/C condenser core aside.

Hi,
The bumper does not need removed. I believe the top section of the core support unbolts and you take it out through there.

Let me know if this helps.

Positive it does not need to be removed. It would make access a bit more easier but it is a lot of trouble just to remove bumper for it. It really is not necessary to remove it.
