Install in the reverse order of removal.
Fill the radiator with coolant and check for leaks.
NOTE:
- Bleed air from the cooling system.
  - Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (Until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)
  - Turn off engine and let it cool down. Check the coolant level and add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.
  - Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run engine again and check for leaks.
