2007 Honda Pilot Radiator Replacement

[@brettcarter6189]

A couple of additional tips for anyone else doing this: It would be a good idea to replace your hoses while you’re at it since they crack over time. If you’re in an area where things rust, maybe replace the hose clamps as well, or at least inspect them closely. Also, inspecting and hosing off your condenser coil while everything is out would be good since those get full of dirt and bugs. One more thing: If you’ve never replaced your thermostat, this would be a good time to do that since the coolant is already drained out. And don’t forget to top off any ATF that you might lose when disconnecting those trans lines. This is a great video, by the way.

Thanks for the refresher, been a long time since I worked at Honda and did this

You did a great job explaining. I really appreciate the extra effort you must have given to be able to film and edit this. Thanks, I feel more confident that I can do this myself. Where are you? That car has a lot more rust than mine.

Also, when you reinstall the hoses, old trick is to use a finger tip of dish soap and rub it inside the hose

Thanks for video. However Honda suggests Honda OEM (blue color) radiator fluid.

Great step by step! Thanks!

Did you need to add trans fluid as well or was the lost fluid in the trans lines minimal?

[@skylineauto4414]

Very minimal amout. it was still registering just fine, i added about a quarter quart just about what was lost becase i tucked the lines up high so they wouldnt continue to leak out.

2004 is not working this way. (unless I take entire bumper with aka steel bar and cover) I had to remove battery and tray and unbolt fuse box to take both fans out there is absolutely no room to move radiator with fans between core support upper bar and a/c condenser without messing the high pressure lines also had to delete an a/t cooler hose bracket welded to the steel a/t tube attached to the radiator and remove the vertical bar with a hood latch
