REMOVAL
| WARNING | Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns may occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from engine cooling system. Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn it all the way. |

INSTALLATION
| CAUTION | Do not reuse O-rings. |
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Note. Insert the radiator hose (1) all the way to the stopper (2) or by 33 mm (1.30 in) (hose without a stopper). For the orientation of the hose clamp pawl, refer to the figure. Radiator hose Hose end Paint mark Position of hose clamp (1) Radiator hose (upper) Radiator side Upper A Engine side Upper B Radiator hose (lower) (RH) Radiator side Upper C Engine side Front side D Radiator hose (lower) (LH) Radiator side Rear side E Engine side Rear side F (1) Refer to the illustrations for the specific position each hose clamp tab. The angle (b) created by the hose clamp pawl and the specified line (A) must be within ±15° as shown in the figure. To install hose clamps (1), check that the dimension (A) from the end of the paint mark (2) on the radiator hose to the hose clamp is within the reference value. Dimension "A" 3 mm (0.12 in)
