Removing the front bumper and flushing radiators Toyota RAV4

1. Gently breaking, remove the caps (the places are indicated in the photo).

2. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the screws of the brackets holding the radiators (yellow circles and arrows), as well as the bolts securing the radiator lining (red circles and arrow) and remove this lining.

3. Then, unscrew the bumper mounting screws.

4.  Remove the front left wheel (operations are projected to the other side as well). Unfasten the front part of the fender liner, as the whole is not needed.

5. Then, unscrew the 10mm front mudguard fasteners and part of the lockers with a ring wrench.

6.  Unscrew the 4 screws of the Toyota RAV4 lower bumper mounts using a box wrench.

7. Gently prying the bumper latches onto the fenders with a flat screwdriver, remove the bumper.

8.  You can not empty the cooling system, but just take the radiator a little to the side. To do this, remove the radiator frame (from 2 sides of the mount) and the bumper amplifier, unscrewing the 4 bolts for fastening to the side members with a screwdriver with a nozzle on both sides.

9.  Rinse the radiators with a car shampoo using a short-haired stiff brush, rinsing with a bucket or a pressure of water from a mini-sink (the first two photos are before washing, the last one is after).

10. Reassemble everything in reverse order.
