Follow up; replace radiator '90 accord
Did the replacement today. The radiator will easily come out with
both fans attached. I replaced all the hoses when replacing the radiator. Hardest part was getting the bypass hose off with those awful factory spring clamps. They are very difficult to get to. Be prepared to replace with the appropriate sized ideal style clamps where you can orient the heads of the screws to be accessible the next time you have to get to them. Three hours for the radiator and all the hoses. Someone who knows what they are doing could do it in two. I took the splash pan off because the manual said to. I'm not sure it was necessary. |

At any rate, I wish you had been there to help. Those clamps are great and quick with access but when they are in a tight spot like that bypass hose, they are tough. > >> >> Three hours for the radiator and all the hoses.

The only advantage I saw for taking it off was reattaching some of the clip on connectors that ride on the left side fan. |
