Hey Guys, new to your forum, I had joined a competing forum a couple of days ago but have not had much of a response. I suppose I'm looking for greener pastures.

Anyway, Anyone here swap out their radiator on your Santa Fe yet?, I punched a hole in mine while replacing the alternator, now I have to go home and try to swap out the radiator. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.

Hyundai Tech Website says I need to drop the bumper cover, evacuate AC and remove the condenser to get radiator out, Autozone Repair guide says I
should be able to tilt radiator forward and unclip the condenser w/o evacuating or dropping bumper.

Any insight would definitely be appreciated
Thanks!

 

I can't say I've done that removal but I don't see why you have to remove the condenser to the radiator out.
