Changing Honda Odyssey Radiator again

[@MrSleep-ju3pf]

Hey, brother - thank you so much for this video. Noticed a sweet burning smell on our 2003 Honda Odyssey after driving on the freeway - leaking blue coolant from the plastic top of the radiator. Thanks to your video, I was able to do a job I would never in my right mind think I could ever do. Thank you for sharing your skills and wisdom for other folks to learn from and save a lot of money in the long run. You are much appreciated!

Thanks for taking the time to video. Very helpful. Same type repair due to deer too.

[@RocketGarageService]

You bet, Thank-you for comment!

[@armydlguy]

Great advice about taking off the bumper cover and headlights, made the job much easier, FYI, I was able to pull the radiator with the fans installed.

[@RocketGarageService]

Good to know. Awesome, glad it helped

[@tomaspena8902]

I did it with your video not as easy as you but for being a plumber not a mechanic it was pretty good fine it' took me me 2 days but I'm proud of myself thank you

[@RocketGarageService]

I am glad it helped. My Odyssey is still going strong.

[@revueltaroja4621]

thank you for the video, its not that difficult as i thought. how long it will take to finish this job?

[@RocketGarageService]

Total... maybe three hours. Not bad

[@revueltaroja4621]

​@@RocketGarageServicethank you! I will try this weekend. J.p.

[@ndoghouse6853]

Dont forget to move your garment back! :) Funnel adapter! Well I never heard of such a thing. Guess you learn something new evey day!

[@RocketGarageService]

LOL!!! Thank-you for watching and commenting.

[@robertguerrero8009]

Thanks for sharing, my '02 needs a new radiator might try it myself now, cheers senor..

[@RocketGarageService]

Yes, its not that bad.

[@edms3656]

How easy is it to take out the transmission hose fittings from the bottom of the radiator? one of them is leaking on my odyssey and plan to swap it out, just not sure if its a pain in the ass and what the part is exactly, not much info online.

[@RocketGarageService]

@@edms3656 I can’t remember exactly. But what I do recall. I don’t think we would be that bad.

[@countryboylife5darlowe391]

Awesome video and thanks for spending your time on the job!! I’m in the process of changing mines out lol

[@RocketGarageService]

Good luck! Glad it helped

[@florenciohernandez2986]

[@RocketGarageService]

Thanks, you too!

[@SterlingArcher-gp5gu]

That video was awesome, great instruction😎

[@RocketGarageService]

Glad it helped, thank-you for the comment.

[@2prnot2pfunku]

Where do you get the attachments to the radiator to do the burping?

[@RocketGarageService]

Amazon or Harbor Freight Link to Amazon: amzn.to/3Qimk87

[@nilolee2426]

Love your huge garage space, how many miles do you have in your 04 odyssey ?

[@RocketGarageService]

Thank-you, it was probably low 300,000 miles at that time. The transmission went out a few months ago.

[@jorgecalixto3858]

I’m about to do the same work. How long that it took you to replace it?

[@RocketGarageService]

2-3 hours, after I knew what I was doing.

[@jorgecalixto3858]

Thanks for the heads up.

[@armydlguy]

Could you have taken the radiator out with the fans still attached?

[@RocketGarageService]

I am sure you could, but it would cause more work or damage then its worth. Fan were really not that bad to take off.

[@Florida_Adventure]

I've seen videos with the fans on the radiator put in and taken out.

[@joyoung5439]

It comes right out without removing fans,bumper ,headlights if you're patient and careful. Remove the brass intake and outlet fittings and it very quick and easy. Do the same for the new fittings and put them back on after the radiator us seated. Its a tight spot but very doable even with large hands . The fittings can be installed from under the van.

[@CRAPO2011]

Was that an OEM Honda radiator that failed in one year?Hows is the denso aftermarket Radiator holding up?

[@RocketGarageService]

So both OEM radiator lasted years!!!! The denso is great. Still working great

[@CRAPO2011]

What brand was the radiator that failed in one year? didn't have any issue with mounting tabs? Yours is a 2002?

[@RocketGarageService]

@@CRAPO2011it is a 2004. It was a “OEM”. But it came from the junkyard. We ran into a deer. I got the whole replacement front end from the junkyard. The junkyard radiator didn’t last too long. But it did get us by.

[@CRAPO2011]

@@RocketGarageService ahhh thanks for clarifying,I saw it Had Honda embossed on it👍

[@DIYKAI]

Good job hated doing a 3.5 pilot one lol

[@johnpaulgarrett1]

Very Informative.

[@RocketGarageService]

Glad you think so!

[@dustinthompson5150]

Cut the core ?? Wow

[@RocketGarageService]

Facts!!! I will do a trap door for a fuel pump. Not cutting the radiator support out.

[@kenpawson2268]
