I was just wondering if any one knows how hard it is to remove the plastic side on the radiator this way you can see what needs rodded out. When I was a kid we use to heat the side of the radiator with a torch remove it clean it then soder it back to gether. was hoping it was that easy.

 

Unless u have the tools, know how/experience, probably best to let a rad shop remove/re-install the tanks from/to the core.

 

well theres no rad shop in my area, unless I want to drive 50 miles, from what I see there is just metal tabs to bend out, and was wondering what kind of seal is in it.

 

I've seen some use simply a gasket, and some use some type of RTV that seems a bit gooier. I never tried to put them back together, just interested in taking them apart after changing them. You may want to line up a new radiator in case it doesn't work out right. Don't want to be stranded without one, and can always return the new one.

 

Personally, I don't try to rejuvenate radiators any longer. They are relatively inexpensive ($100-$200) and that money for a new one is well spent.....

 

I just picked up one from ebay 52 bucks pluss free shipping and I couldent get a used one for that. It seems nice and its from american eagle radiator co. It should be fine so Im going to see whats inside of my old one

 

Maybe post a pic or 2?
