Model: Honda CR-V MK 3 - Years 2007-2012
Part: Radiator

In this video, see how to remove the radiator along with the cooling fans of a Honda CR-V. Open the bonnet and secure it, then detach the plastic rivets from the radiator cover. Using a suitable socket spanner, remove the plate that secures the door release lever. Remove the plates that secure the radiator at the top, then lift the car on a column lift and loosen the clamp on the water hose. Disconnect the various hoses of the cooling system using pliers. Once free from screws and hoses, extract the fan assembly and then the radiator from the engine bay. Prepare to fit the new part in the engine bay, then install the cooling fans, clamps, pins, and various pipes. Refit the radiator mounting brackets along with the bonnet release plate. Tighten the plastics and front grille securely with a socket spanner. Finally, top up with new coolant and bleed the air from the cooling system.
