Thanks for the video. It helped me replace the radiator on my ‘99 Avalon (with one from 1A Auto of course).

Word of advice, each fan has four tiny tangs on the bottom. Clip off the tangs with a side cutter and it should slide in just fine.

Andrew Willson says:

Is this a similar procedure on the 1992-1996 Camry?

Thank you for the informative video. It was clearly shot and illuminated nicely. The list of tools needed saved me some time.

I have replaced several radiators on my old school American cars and trucks, but have never worked on anything with electric fans. I was surprised by how light this radiator is.

This was fairly easy to do on a friend's 1999 Camry. I changed the order of procedures from yours however. I raised the car on jack stands. I removed the skid plate and drained the coolant first. I then removed the hoses above the fans so I could pull them straight up.

I used the caps from the new radiator's transmission cooler lines to plug the old ones.

The most difficult part was removing the electrical connectors and the transmission cooler hoses. These have never been removed since the car was built and required a bit of persuasion.

I checked for coolant and transmission fluid leaks while it was still raised up and without the skid plate.

The first paragraph in your description must have been copied from a different video and needs to be edited. It is about the radiator fan.

Again, thank you.

I think I would be checking for leaks before installing that bottom skid plate…?

Alfred Collins says:

You can use jackstands to be easy but i did it the hard way remove the top and pulled the hoses straight

Alfred Collins says:
