Radiator Rusted Pipes

[MatthewT85]

thanks, i just spoke to a mechanic today about it, he said hes seen it on an rb20 and another 25 and said its just press fitted in? and that he just removes the old bit and puts another in there, said midas could make up a pipe for it, i guess its just like yours

Honestly just pull it out with some pliers

It will come loose if you wiggle it around.

Then just go to Nat rad and ask them if they have something the same size or even a metal fabricator might have some scrap.

Smash it in with hammer otherwise it's going to cost a little bit of money.

From what I read it's caused by electrolysis and people using water instead of coolant. Mine still looks fine now and hasn't leaked or anything

[MatthewT85]

serious? from what i could see, and in my pics it doesnt look like it would come out too easy

[Manuel Kasko]

Mine came out with a pair of pliers

I just pulled and wobbled it around

Then again mine was pretty rusted

But chuck something to free stuff up like Wd or something and it should come out.

I also have a can of freeze release which makes it super cold and can help get bolts etc out

Have a crack at it

Whats the worst you could do

If you see you are doing any damage then just stop and go see that mechanic

Good to know how dodgy you are mate. Note to self DON'T BUY A CAR FROM DANIEL. But seriously good job fixing it that cheap! haha.

[Manuel Kasko]

Hahaha!

It was either that or order a new bit of pipe online for $150

Then pay a mechanic to use a hammer and smash it in for $50-100

Honestly the bit of pipe online was exactly the same as the bit from natrad they gave to me for free.

My whole car is DIY and its holding together

When I first purchased it I didn't even know how to change the coolant

Yessss yessssss you are learning well my young padawan. Actually ill add this here for the lulz factor.... My partner has a Yaris and she was cleaning it a few months back. She decided to clean the leather dash in it. Apparently Pine O Clean is an all purpose cleaner.... The leather went grey. I had to spend the next 4 weeks re applying armor all to get it back to black.
