This DIY is for a 2005 Corolla .

First you have to drain the radiator in a safe manor .




Then you flush out the over flow tank so that you do not mix fluids plus keep all fluids new and not to contaminate the newer fluid . 




With pliers you can easily remove the clamps to the upper and lower hose . 



Make sure you replace the clamps and to grease the inner part of the hoses so if you ever need to go back there it will not stick and be easily to remove . 

Match up the hoses .

DIY Replacing A/C Condenser Fan Honda CRV 2000



This is a DIY on a 2000 Honda CRV - First you remove all the clips on top of the radiator so that the shield can be taking off to see the fan .





 
Once you remove the plastic shield you will take off the two nuts holding the fan that is to the LEFT of the radiator - The RIGHT side is for the temperature switch . Then you remove the reservoir for the antifreeze .
 
 
 
There is a bracket that holds the radiator down remove those on each side on the top , Then you remove the bracket that is holding the grill and the plastic bumper off to - This way you can lean the radiator forward and pull out the fan
 

 
On the bottom you remove the clips that hold the water shield to the vehicle - You need to remove the little drain hose from the bracket of the condenser fan and a plug that is clipped to the bracket .



 
Once everything is loosen then you pull the radiator forward carefully and remove the fan from the top .
 


 
Then once you remove the fan you follow the steps in reverse to put the new fan back - You might have to purchase new clips cause when they are old they break - There is about 25 or more clips better to purchase them from eBay where they are cheaper .
