Lexus RX300 Radiator & AC Condenser Replacement (1999 - 2003)

1999 - 2003 Lexus RX300 - In this video I'll show you how I replaced the radiator in a 2000 Lexus RX300. In the process of removing the radiator, I discovered the aluminum of the ac condenser fins had extensive corrosion and decided to replace it before it gave out. Removal of the condenser makes the radiator replacement easier only requiring the removal of the bumper facia.

If you decide to replace the condenser, first have the refrigerant removed from your ac system at any auto repair shop that does ac service. After the condenser has been installed, I'll show you how I evacuated and recharged the ac if you choose to do it yourself.

Aside from basic tools and metric sockets, I suggest you get spring clamp and hose pliers. These tools will help you remove the radiator and transmission hoses with much less difficulty.
