Removing
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
2. Disconnect the wiring from the cooling fan, marking the location of the connector to facilitate installation.
3. Loosen the bolts securing the top two corners of the fan shroud, then tilt the assembly slightly towards the engine, pull it up and remove it from the radiator (see illustration).
4. Remove the three mounting nuts to separate the fan motor from the shroud. If required, separate the fan impeller from the motor by removing the spring clip from the end of the motor shaft.
5. The motor cannot be repaired, so if the unit is defective, replace it.
Installation
6. Assembly (where possible) and installation is done in reverse order. Make sure the bottom edge of the fan shroud is properly seated on the heatsink.
7. Finally, start the engine, let it warm up to normal operating temperature and check that the fan is working properly.
