Thanks for taking the time to make this! I have the same leak on my 2013 and this is in my near future...which is how I found this video through search. 👊👊
Just did mine and took me ~8 hrs. Definitely take the front bumper off. Take your time and go slow. MagicMike's recommendation to use a cardboard to protect the AC condenser when pulling off/putting in the radiator is a must as well.
Ha, thank you. Yeah I cringe when I watch this video. Saying screw when I meant bolt, etc. Compressor/condenser. Clearly I'm not a professional with this first video. But it should confirm if I figured this project out, most of you looking this up will handle this repair too. Only wish I filmed it as I did the fix.
Check out the really good video that provides detail for removing the fan shroud and fan: Vance's How-To Video Library - Water Pump Replacement Lexus GX460. It's not a bad idea to replace the water pump while you have the radiator out and coolant drained. That was my plan but after the condenser detour, I was ready to put everything back together and move on for the day.
Thanks for sharing, I really scraped up and bruised my arms doing the serpentine belt a few months ago without taking the fan and shroud off.
Thanks for sharing. The tip on damaging condenser will certainly stay on my radar when I need to take it on!

What about the ATF? How did you top that off?
Some good tips, but boy, I really wish we could have seen you do the entire process step by step. Thanks though!
Well since you are in the vicinity...mind as well change the AC radiator as well...but yeah good tip.
I am about to go there. Thank you!
_condenser_ ✌️

Can you let me know how to remove the fan?
Remove the 4 bolts? Turn the entire fan counter clockwise?
