Replacing AC Condenser
 

Hi
I am planning on replacing AC Condenser myself and have seen some people installing aftermarket radiators. My question is that do I really need to take out the front crash bar and all? Can I just take bumper off and slide the radiator and condenser from the top?

Well I have not done one to tel you but once the plastic bumper is off the crash bar is 4 bolts and comes off in minutes.

The FSM will have the "Nissan Approved" procedures. Will also tell you what size fasteners you will run into, &c. Link in my sig.

Yes. The bolts that hold the Ac condenser lines in place would otherwise be impossible to get to. And depending on what radiator you go with, you might have to cut into the fan shrowd. I can't imagine what that would be like with no room to work with

Can it be done? Maybe but I feel like it would just turn into a way bigger job than it needs to be. Just take off the crash bar. 8 quick bolts.

Figured the problem out. It looks like ac drier is leaking from the top where the switch or sensor is. But it doesn't look like ac drier is replaceable on my condenser. Or is it? 2009 370z sport touring
