3. ENGINE COOLING SySTEM MODIFICATION, cont'd

Fig. 3I: Modified Upper Radiator Hose

Cut approximately 2.75” from the long leg of the

Ø1.5” x 90° rubber hose to mate up with the

exposed long leg of the 90° steel pipe. Secure

with an included #28 worm gear clamp.

Install the new upper radiator hose assembly,

ensuring the quick-release mechanism securely

snaps into place. Check all connections, and

ensure that the hose is routed away from moving

parts and sharp edges. (See Fig. 3I)

Remove the two (2) innermost 13mm hex nuts on

the top of the passenger side strut tower. These

nuts may have already been removed if the car is

equipped with a strut tower brace. (See Fig. 3K)

Remove the 10mm hex nut from the stud on the

power distribution box directly across from the oil

filler cap. (See Fig. 3L) If equipped, first remove

the upper 10mm hex nut and OEM ground wire.

All of these will be reinstalled in a later step.

Gently bend the A/C service port toward the pas-

senger side between the power distribution box

and the strut tower. (See Fig. 3M)
