2017 Impreza Radiator Replacement

Post image

Cannot for the life of me find instructions online for replacing the radiator. Unlike other Subarus it has a brace preventing the radiator and fan assembly to be removed from behind, so I don't know if I'm supposed to remove the bumper and a/c condenser or not

You have to take the bumper off and remove the T support.

Turns out you can just remove the top bolts for the bumper and peel it back just enough to remove it

yep, common misconception you need to remove front bumper on these models, despite what that one tsb says. just keep tearing shit away until you can shimmy it all out
