Coolant elbow replacement. Any surprises coming my way? - 08/22/07 03:54 PM
I'm working on my parents' 1998 Grand Prix GT that my sister drives. I've already aquired a new elbow from the stealership.
As I understand it all I have to do is pull the tensioner bracket and swap out the elbow.
Now, is there a gasket under that bracket that I'll need to replace, are there any common problems that arise when doing this swap?
Also, where is the other elbow located? I guess I might as well change it now while I'm in there.
Sorry if these are basic questions, we don't have a service manual for this car.
I appreciate your time.
