Spend 5 hours of your time and $50 to buy all the tools and fittings to do the job.
OR…spend $100 bucks on a new radiator from the auto parts store. Drain the coolant. Replace the radiator. Refill the coolant and be done in an hour or so.
Right and imagine if he still went this route and the repair didn’t take. May have learned a new skill but all for the same outcome as just replacing plus 50 losts dollars.
5 hours!!?? wtf! 🤣🤣 15 mins bro she’s good. You guys crack me up! Tools can be rented, tools can be purchased and returned in a real pinch. Like others have also said.
Clean it, drill it, thread it, small amount of black rtv silicone around the brass fitting, tighten, clean hose of broken nipple, place hose on brass and if you really want to make sure it’s sealed let sit overnight or at least a few hours.
I have successfully done this job too many times and some not even threaded a hole. I could make a damn BIC ink pen work for the fix. Hell a BIC ink pen and BIC lighter she’s ready to roll!!
Oh yeah all this done under and hour. In my garage sitting here 15 mins then wait for silicone to dry.
How many other ways you need to fix it? I don’t suspect you could successfully pull off this fix especially not replace the radiator. Not all of us have money laying around.
