Do I need to drain the cooling system before removal?

Yes. Drain the coolant into a clean container before disconnecting the radiator hoses. You can reuse the fluid if it's clean and not contaminated.

Will this radiator work with my current hoses and clamps?

Factory hose connections are the same, so your existing clamps should work. Inspect hose condition during install — if they're cracked or brittle, replace them while you're in there.

What happens if the radiator arrives damaged?

Inspect immediately upon delivery before installation. Document any shipping damage with photos. Contact support with your order number and photos for resolution options.
