  Q: How to service the radiator on Ford Freestyle?

  A: The first step for radiator service calls for complete cooling system drainage. Start by taking off the air cleaner assembly and next follow it with the cooling Fan Motor and shroud. Then proceed with removing the front Grille. Start the radiator service by removing both the upper radiator hose and lower radiator hose before placing them to the side. The horn assembly service requires disconnecting its electrical connector followed by removing the horn bolt which enables you to remove the assembly while tightening the bolt to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) before reinstalling. The A/C Condenser maintenance requires bolt removal followed by placement of the condenser aside while tightening its bolts to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.) when reinstalling. The next step requires removing two radiator support bracket bolts but reinstalling them tight at 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.). Move the radiator forward after removing its support brackets then take out the transmission cooler bracket bolt while tightening it to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.) for reinstallation. Extract the transmission cooler off its retainers before placing it aside while taking out the radiator. The installation ends by running through the reverse removal steps followed by cooling system fluid addition and bleeding.
