You don't have to take the fan off. If you just unloosen the shroud and push it back ass far as it goes the radiator fits right out.
I just did it and wasted 3 hours and 70 bucks trying to get the tools and the fan off and didn't have to the whole time
Your comment saved me $70. I scoured through comments to see if you really needed to take it off and you don’t. “It’s not much, but it’s honest work.”
saved me $300. took me less than an hour and was able to work around the fan and shroud
Please next time let us know where we can get the special Tools
dont say you need a special tool, then not say what its called, or show us a way without the tool
you can also get that pesky fan shroud out of the way with a saws all. I recommend the Binford Tiger 5000.
Your a joy to watch thanks for the video
Might as well replace the radiator hoses while you have everything out, they aren’t very expensive.
It’s about a 50/50 shot at best that the trans cooler lines will pop out even with the special tool. Those lines were rusted up. Would have been best to replace those lines as well along with the radiator.
neither the fan nor the shroud needed to come out
I just unscrewed the whole fittings from the radiator with a wrench,top and bottom.Screwed them in the new radiator.
Where can I get those locking clips at I can’t find them
What happens if you used green ?
You are amazing, thank u for the info.
What tool is that you used to do the hose clamps
Anyone ever figure it out..? Looks like the same ones I've used to remove the inline fuel filter. Autozone sells them as plastic clips in a variety pack or a 2 sided clamp similar to the one he was holding in the vid. I believe its called a "line removal tool". May have several different names depending on where you live and how professional your local mechanics and/or auto repair clerks are. 😉
Here to say, I Heated up where it threads into the radiator and just unscrewed that part and left the quick connect attached. make sure to spray with pb blaster.
+West S Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
What kind of antifreeze should I use??
This might be a dumb question but couldn't you just remove the fan shroud bolts.... not touch the fan.... leave the shroud in and slid the radiator out? Seems like it could be simpler.
I have a thicker radiator is there a difference
Como se llaman esas pinzas que ocupaste en la manguera inferior?
trans remover lines or trans cooler line disconnect scissors
My radiator was leaking fluid and had a hole near the top of my 2005 Ford F150. I took it in to have a new radiator replaced. The first day using it, I lost all transmission fluid to the point the truck would not go forward or backward, and trans fluid sprayed all over the engine compartment. Had it hauled to the trans shop yesterday for an inspection. The truck tripped the engine light. What possibly happened?
Some of the f150's the transmission oil cooler is inside of the radiator. So I'm guessing whoever replaced the radiator messed up one of the lines going to the transmission cooler or didn't properly connect them.
What's the link to that tool? Can't find it anywhere
Head over to a parts store and grab one.
Trans coolant line remover. Lisle 39660 if shopping on amazon.
Where can I get one of those though with the extra layers like that

No need to take off fan.
