DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
Note
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap sub-assembly while the engine and radiator assembly are still hot. Thermal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator assembly.
Loosen the cylinder block drain cock plug, then drain the engine coolant.
Tech Tips
The cylinder block drain cock plug is positioned on the bottom edge of the timing chain or belt cover sub-assembly.
Remove the radiator cap sub-assembly.
Disconnect the radiator outlet hose from the engine side, then drain the engine coolant by bending the hose.
REMOVE E.F.I. ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
