i was trying to take my radiator out and already had my front bumper off. there is a small silver pipe that is connected to the bottom of the radiator on the left side that i guess is connected to the air conditioner and i unbolted the pipe from the radiator. when i did all kind of mist shot out for like 15-20 secs and stopped. i just want to make sure what it was that happened and what i will have to do to make sure everything is fine.

 

you dont even need to take the bumper off...

did u let ur car cool off before you went unbolting ****?

 

damn that sucks, you just discharged your A/C refrigerant. The line was going to your A/C condensor, which is in front of the radiator, and not the radiator itself. You will now have to go to an auto store and buy some cans of R-134A refrigerant. I don't know the procedure for charging the system back up, but I'm sure somebody at the store can help you.

To remove the radiator, you simply drain it, disconnect the upper and lower hoses (big hoses), unplug the fans, and pull it out.

 

thats what i figured, just wanted to make sure. thanks

 

i know i dont need to take my bumper off, had it off for other reasons.

 

psss.. hehe... lol sorry I had to laugh...

but anyway, yeah, you undid the AC condensor and let out all the freon. Actually the "Correct Way" of recharging your AC is doing it at a AC shop cause they need to Vaccum out the Air in the System caused by your removing the hose and recharge with R134a maybe R12 if you are 94(not sure)

Yeah, the Radiator removal is pretty straight forward, remove the upper and lower hoses, take off the radiator stays and lift it out of the way.
