In this video we take a look at what it takes to replace the radiator in a 2009 Subaru Tribeca. It really is not a bad job if you know what all to expect. I tried to share some of the things we learned here and some of the more difficult things to get to. As always its more than one way to do it. I shared the way I removed and replaced this one. One thing that is easier most likely is to remove upper tie bar and hood lock support first so some of the difficult connections and wire restraints can be removed much easier. Hope you find this helpful and thanks for watching!
