Hello,
Very cool forum. I have a few questions about a 2005 4L v6, 4WD Explorer:
1.) I have what appears to be a radiator leak on the passenger rear side of the radiator. It has been slowly leaking for a couple years now and I have just been adding coolant when required. Its leaking pretty bad now and I think its time to replace the radiator. My question: Is it just a matter of unbolting the shroud and hanging it over the fan, unbolting the radiator and pulling it out (after disconnecting everything of course)? Any special tools required? Will the fan need to come off?
2.) The Front brakes also need to be replaced - pads and rotors. Any special tools required to do this? Is it fairly straightforward? Anything I need to watch out for? I've done 2wd vehicles before, but never a 4WD.
Thanks for any help!
