Changing a 172 radiator.

[Alexiooo]

Hey guys, I've been searching for some help on how to change a rad on a 172 cup (AC model)... I have the new rad, and confident taking the bumper off, but can't find a three which goes into any detail on how to change it.

Can anyone help?

Remove front grile ,then take slam panel off, 4 bolts on top 2 down infront of radiator(these 2 only need loosening) and the 2 top rad mounts, then it will lift out. Then drain rad, remove all hoses, remove bottom mounts, disconnect fan and away you go.

Removing fuel rail guard will make it easier, iirc 2 deep 13mm sockets.

Only just seen this reply. Worked it out in the end... Thanks!
