AST Install - Already Searched!!
Sorry for the annoyance but I searched and searched and could not find a good "how-to" on installing my AST. The one I found was 11 bullet points talking about removing the wheel and the plastic trim and ish. I was hoping to find something more detailed.
All the articles I found on Rob Rinettes Site and the Steve Cirians site were about elimination.
Any help in either finding a good article or advice on how to actually do it would be great!
Happy snowing (if you are on the east coast)

The AST is extremly easy to remove and install , there are three hoses , the over flow at the cap goes to the overflow bottle , the second one just under that on the side of the tank is connected to the nipple on the thermostat housing and the last one at the bottom of the tank connects to the nipple on the bottom tank of the radiator.

Also, have a small cup or something to stick under the AST to catch the coolant when you disconnect the hoses. Otherwise you'll have a nice mess under there.
Don't forget to refill the coolant system, and make sure you burp it properly

only real thing you need to know how to do is drain the coolant and then know how to burp it after its installed...other than that its cake unless you have an upgraded radiator in which case you gotta find a spot to mount it with a bracket

Can anyone clarify the issue of the bracket to which the base of the stock AST is attached please?
Do the upgraded AST's also attach to the same lower bracket?
I know-pretty basic question, but nevertheless please help. All the info I'm able to find speaks to the hoses which are pretty self-explanatory but no mention of the bracket. Not sure if I use the same bracket the upgraded AST. I plan to go with the ASI AST.
Thanks for the help.
