Afternoon! New user here from the UK. Desperate for info re my van - any help would be gratefully received.
Mitsubishi L300 2.5D van 1993 - the balance shaft belt has broken and it appears I need to get the radiator out to get access to it - do I need to drop the front axle, because staring at it doesn't seem to help!
I really can't see any other way to get the radiator out.....please help!!
Hello and help!

Hello and welcome!
Have you removed the drivers seat and the black panel below it? The radiator comes out the top when the panels out of the way.
Hope this helps.

Re: Hello and help!
ya, removing the rad is easier then you think! pinch the transmission fluid lines before you remove them

Re: Hello and help!
You can replace the belt without removing the radiator, though it may be less work in the long run just to get it out of the way.
