This how-to video demonstrates checking and replacing a worn and leaking radiator out of a 2001 Honda Civic LX Sedan. This is mostly a demonstration that anyone with time and effort can save some $$$ and tackle this fairly easy job themselves. Be sure to check out part 3 of this DIY listed on my channel and SUBSCRIBE. =)

wouldn't it be cheaper to go to your hardware store and use plastic nut/bolt assemblies instead of trying to find those Honda plastic screws for the mudguards?

@davidmstaples noted. i will have to look for those next time. thanks!

[big2000dave]

@nicewknd Let me make a correction if i stated wrong in the vid. ONLY the NEGATIVE battery cable should be removed. Reason being if it touches a grounding spot, it will not short out. If positive where hanging about and hit ground, bad things could happen.

I'm trying to change my reservoir tank or what you called the overflow tank for the coolant. How would I do so ?

[big2000dave]

@waltabeast That tank is held on by one screw. Just undo that and the hoses and detach. Should be straight forward.

[nicewknd]

While removing the postive cable first, if you where to accidentally touch ground, what would happen?

Dont know if you found it yet, but they have a tool to take those gromits out, it looks like a screwdriver but has a fork at the the instead of a straight or philips head, also, take the radiator cap off while draining the system, fluid comes out faster, otherwise, great video,, wish i saw this a day before i did mine lol, I hit a raccoon doing 70 mph, so the radiator and condensor and one of the fans was destroyed along with the lower bracket, had some work to do,
