Disconnect the cooling fan electrical connector. Remove the cooling fan wire from the fan shroud. Safely raise and support the vehicle. Remove the cooling fan assembly from the radiator by pushing up on the fan shroud to unsnap the retaining features.Position the cooliong fan assembly away from the radiator. Remove the air dam push-in retainers. Remove the air dam. Remove the right engine splash shield to radiator mount push-in retainer. Remove the left engine splash shield to radiator mount push-in retainer. Remove the lower raDIATOR mount, brackets, and bolts. Support the radiaTor and condensor. Tilt the radiator and condensor forward in the vehicle. Remove the cooling fan assembly from vehicle.

You are sure the radiator fan is faulty?

Yes, I'm sure. The fan blade is missing a blade and part of the support ring attatched to it :) Thanks for the instructions.
