official_style Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 since its winter and im bored, i want to switch both my bikes over to engine ice. what is the best/easiest way to get all of the coolant out? i am going to also install the coolant ez drain plates on both quads, so this will be easier in the future. while im doing this, should i slap in the high flow impellers? do the modquad ones have the same problem as the pro design ones? of the coolant that is in them now gets on anything painted like the frame etc, is it going to screw up the paint?

shee4speed Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Just open all the holes and flip the bike on its sides and move around to get all the fluid out. I'm not sure on the Impellers since I had a PD shaft break right in half.Prob. just a fluke. They did replace it though.Coolant will not screw up paint.Just rinse it all off.

THE GRIM RIPPER Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Pro Design is the best impeller made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee4speed Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Pro Design is the best impeller made thats what everyone says.Mine was defective and I trusted to put one back in.No troubles as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
official_style Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 so basically disconnect a radiator hose, let all that shit run out, then open the bolts on both sides and tip it over. then should i blast out the radiator with like a garden hose? so the prodesign just had a bad batch i guess, how much of a PITA is it to install?

shee4speed Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I guess bad batch. The impellar is cake to replace.Pull the side cover,pull the water pump cover.There is a "c" clip that holds in the gear.Remove the gear and pull out the shaft.Reverse to install. I never blasted the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
official_style Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 just ordered up 2 ez drain covers and 2 pro design impellers, are all of the parts re-useable off the old shaft, or do i need anything else to slap these babies in?

Wiz Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 clutch cover gasket and a water pump gasket....Use a garden hose to flush that would be fine or use a shop rag and a blow tip with an air compressor, wrap rag around blow tip try and seal radiator top with the rag and blow air through system....

official_style Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 the EZ drain covers come with gaskets, so i just need 2 clutch cover gaskets i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
