      1. Attach the claw to the overhaul handle at the hole on part A as shown in the illustration.

      2. While gripping the handle, adjust the stopper bolt so that dimension B is as shown in the illustration.

        Note

        If this adjustment is not performed, the claw will be damaged.

        Dimension B
        0.2 to 0.3 mm (0.008 to 0.012 in.)

  3. REMOVE RADIATOR TANK UPPER AND TANK LOWER


    1. A01387J

      Lightly tap the bracket of the radiator (or radiator hose inlet or outlet) with a plastic hammer and remove the tank.

    2. Remove the O-ring.

  4. INSPECT LOCK PLATE FOR DAMAGE


    1. A0138I3E01

      Inspect the lock plate for damage.

      Tech Tips


      • If the sides of the lock plate groove are deformed, reassembly of the tank will be impossible. Correct any deformations with pliers.


      • Water leakage will result if the bottom of the lock plate groove is damaged or dented. Repair or replace the lock plate if necessary.

      Note

      The radiator assembly can be recaulked only twice. After the 2nd recaulking, the radiator core must be replaced.
