Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the radiator fan shroud.
Remove the drive belt, if necessary.
Remove the four fan clutch-to-water pump pulley nuts and lift out the fan/clutch assembly.

Remove the fan clutch bolts and separate the fan from the clutch.

To install:

Install the fan on the fan clutch and tighten the bolts to 17 ft. lbs. (23 Nm).
Position the fan/clutch assembly on the water pump pulley. Tighten the nuts to 18 ft. lbs. (24 Nm).
Install the fan shroud.
Connect the battery cable.
