Chevy Trailblazer radiator replacement (without removing fan clutch)

New project for my son and I. 2008 Chevy Trailblazer 5.3l. The radiator was leaking and needed replaced. In this video we show you how we did this. We attempted to remove the fan clutch, but I didn't have the tools to do it, so I had to improvise. I hope you enjoy. I got the radiator on Amazon and so far it's worked flawless.

Found your video. Did my 4.2 today. Worked great. Thank you so much

This was rough. I tried getting fan off. She didn’t budge. So I trimmed the shroud and pulled her. She’s burping right now.

@jimskatr103 This has 5.3l with the mechanical fan clutch. I also have a Trailblazer with the 4.2l. On the 4.2l, if you can't get the fan clutch off, the trick is moving the the ac condensor a little forward.

Good Work, Question What Kind of Rubber / Plastic Plugs Did You Use On The Lower Transmission Lines ?

[@allensshenanigans348]

Sorry, I don't know the size of them. Just some vacuum plugs I had lying around. I believe you can get a pack of different sizes at any auto parts store for relatively inexpensive. Thanks for watching.

It took me a few seconds to notice that that is not a 4.2.

5.3. Thanks for watching.
