Aerostar 2WD V6-245 4.0L (1990)
4.
Mount the inboard brackets in the same set of mounting holes, Figure 1 (hole set # 2)
NOTE:
1990 AEROSTARS BUILT AFTER 5/31/90 ALREADY HAVE THE COOLER MOUNTING HOLES IN THE CORRECT POSITIONS FOR
THE NEW POWER STEERING COOLER. THEREFORE, THE COOLER CAN BE BOLTED RIGHT IN WITH SHORT U-NUTS WITHOUT
MAKING ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE BUMPER.
5.
Install new transmission cooler hoses.
a.
Tighten the screw clamps to 2.8-4.0 N.m (25-35 lb-in).
b.
Use the 400 mm hose to connect the top transmission cooler nipple to the inboard metal tube. Use the 340 mm hose to connect the bottom
cooler nipple to the outboard tube.
c.
Route the hoses so they do not kink.
6.
After the cooler is bolted in place, install the new return lines using the new return line gear fitting (connector assembly).
7.
Once the hoses are connected to the return lines, proceed as follows:
a.
Secure the tie strap, that comes attached to the hoses, to the stabilizer bar. This prevents the hoses from rubbing against the A/C condenser.
b.
Allow the hoses to hang in their natural position.
c.
Secure the tie strap so that the hoses are not pulling on the cooler connections or the metal return lines.
8.
Evacuate and fill the power steering system according to the procedure outlined in the appropriate Aerostar Service Manual.
