Flex-a-Lite 56418 Camaro Radiator Only Kit Fits 2010-2011 Chevrolet Camaro - Manual (Page 3)

Place the lower brackets into the original stock rubber grommets, inserting the aluminum rod, until fully 2.
seated. The bent 3/8” lip of both bottom brackets is positioned toward the engine side of radiator, just like
the top brackets.
(see Detail H) The passengers’ side bracket will have the longer “loop”. Lift up, and then
lower, the A/C condenser placing manifold ends into loops of the lower brackets. This will replicate how the
stock radiator held the lower portion of the A/C condenser.
With the top brackets attached, carefully lower the radiator into position resting finally onto the pre-
3.
positioned lower brackets. (see Detail H) The pre-positioned lower brackets will act as cradles to catch and
hold the radiator when lowered into place. Center the radiator between the vehicle’s side frame rails. Double
check the lower brackets, A/C condenser, and radiator for proper positioning.
From below the vehicle, align slots of each bottom bracket with pre-installed threaded inserts of radiator.

Secure bottom brackets to bottom of radiator using supplied ¼-20 x 5/8” hex bolts (4ea), ¼-20 flat washers
(4ea).

From top side of vehicle, reattach the A/C condenser to the threaded inserts of the top brackets using 5.
supplied ¼-20 x 3/4” hex bolts (2ea), ¼-20 flat washers (2ea). (see Detail J)
Reattach the “L”- brackets and bolts saved during removal of the stock radiator in step “16”. Place the 6.
slotted end of the brackets onto the aluminum posts of the radiator top brackets and then insert the bolt
through the brackets into the threaded holes of the radiator support. Apply downward pressure onto the
bracket before tightening the bolts. This will minimize the possibility of radiator movement.
