To remove the radiator shroud you need to temporarily disconnect and remove the engine oil cooler.

• Remove the left wheel house extension and left brake cooler

duct. To do this you will need to remove the three 7 mm

head screws from underneath the vehicle, remove the five

T-15 Torx head screws along the vertical wall of the wheel

well and remove the three push fasteners in the wheel well.

• Install oil drain pan under vehicle.

• Using a small pick tool, carefully remove the two retaining

clips holding the oil lines to the oil cooler. Do NOT pull the

oil lines from the cooler at this time. The pictures show the

clips and the fittings on the oil cooler. The oil cooler is shown

removed from the vehicle to make it easier to see the parts

involved.

• Using a 13 mm socket, remove the four screws retaining

the oil cooler. Allow the right side of the cooler to drop (see

picture).

• Disengage both oil lines and remove the oil cooler from the vehicle. Keep the ports aimed

upright to prevent additional oil spills. Be sure to reinstall the oil line retaining clips on

the oil cooler so that you don’t loose them. When you reinstall the oil lines later on, you

will not need to remove these clips - the lines simply push on.

• Cover the oil cooler ports and the oil lines to avoid contamination.

Remove the two plastic push pins holding the radiator shroud

to the bumper beam. Remove two plastic retainers from each

side of the radiator shroud.

Guide the side wings of the radiator shroud around the lower

brackets. Remove the shroud from the top side, pushing

condenser rearward as necessary for clearance. If the shroud

does not clear the bumper during removal, it may be easier to

free it from the under side of the vehicle.

The following steps need to be performed from

underneath the vehicle:

• Remove the three 10 mm screws holding the lower

radiator air inlet block-off cover in position

• Remove the three 7 mm screws holding the front fascia

inside the radiator opening.

• Next, remove the 7 mm screws on either side (one on

each side). These are the screws holding the bottom of

the bumper cover - see picture.
