Once you've got your replacement radiator you need to reinstall those parts we just removed. That being the cooling fan switch. We don't need to put and sealant on the threads or anything because the seal is kind of a compression fitting with a washer. You want to put it in and tighten it down. Get a little better bite there. Just snug. I'm going to insert the drain hose on the petcock. The two rubber bushings that go on the bottom of the radiator And the two river bushings that go for the top mounts. We want to be extremely careful when we put that in so that we don't lose those lower bushings. So, basically I set the radiator straight back in and I made sure that those rubber grommets on the bottom stayed in place because those are the rubber mounts for the bottom. It's critical that they're there. Now that I've got it all in place, please watch our next segment. We'll cover putting in the upper brackets and connecting the electronic switch.
