Title: Lower radiator supports for 8kw Power Tech radiator
Post by: Realmccoy on September 17, 2019, 08:57:44 pm
I've removed my radiator on my Isuzu 8KW Power Tech generator. Massive leak from lower part of radiator. How do you remove those two bottom supports from the radiator? I need to finish taking it apart so I can take it to a local radiator shop for R&R. I'm going to isolate the radiator so reviewing those posts at the moment.

 There should be a stud on the back side just like the one you see, only shorter.  They should just unscrew. Chances are you will tear up the vibration isolator taking it off due to the threads being rusted up.

Realmccoy,
Mine is a 99 looks the same.  I know the shroud is adjustable can be slid in and out between the islolator and radiator.  I will try to find pics if I still have them, but as best I remember they screw in.

I used many applications of penetrating oil and double nutted to unscrew it. Ended up completely destroying the rubber but they eventually came out.

Thanks, I will hit them with penetrating oil, double nut and let come what may. Thanks for the quick responses.

When we redid ours we replaced the main generator mounts and used 2 of the old ones to mount the radiator on top of a 4x4,
works great.
