WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by turning it all the way.

NOTE:

• When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spilling.

• The radiator hose clamps on the radiator hose (upper) and on the radiator hose (lower) are not serviced separately. Radiator hose clamps are part of the radiator hose assembly and serviced as one unit with the radiator hose.
