REMOVE RADIATOR TANK UPPER
Adjust dimension B show in the illustration using a stopper bolt so that it is 0.2 to 0.3 mm when the handle of the SST touches the stopper bolt.
Note
If the stopper bolt is not adjusted, the claw may be damaged.
As the aluminum radiator adopts an integral crimping construction by the core plate, remove the upper and the lower tanks by lifting up the core plate in such a way that the latter may not be damaged. Release the crimping by using the SST and by gripping it until it hits the stopper bolt of the handle as shown on the illustration.
Note
Do not lift up the core plate more than 90°.
Remove the upper and lower tanks by lightly tapping the radiator hose fitting position.
Note
Remember the mounting direction of the core sub-assembly.
Remount it in such a way that the original direction can be maintained.
