Removing Air Duct to Replace Car Radiator

Video Transcript

"In this segment, we're going to cover removing the air duck. It's a fresh air intake duck and what that does is pull cold fresh air, coming in the automobile from the front and runs it into the air cleaner assembly. The colder, denser air makes for better combustion, better gas mileage, better performance. We need to remove that for accessibility, as well as the radiator fan. That'll give us better access to get down the petcock and the radiator hoses to drain the system. Before we get started, we're going to disconnect the battery for safety reasons because of the fan. We just want to loosen the terminal, and we're taking off the negative terminal. We'll disconnect that. To remove the air duck intake, the fresh air intake, we want a 10mm socket. We've got a 6mm bold with a 10mm head. We're going to take the brackets right off the radiator, leaving them connected to the duck. There's two of them to disconnect. This end we want to pull up and if we wiggle back and forth and slide it will come disconnected from the other end. Then we can slide it right out. There's the assembly. We'll take it and the two bolts that fasten it and set it aside. Then, watch our next segment and we'll cover removing the electric fan."
