Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Unplug the electric cooling fan wiring connector.
Separate the upper and lower fan shrouds.
Loosen the fan shroud from its radiator mounting and remove the lower radiator hose from the fan shroud.
Lift the fan shroud out of the vehicle.
Loosen the fan clutch mounting shaft by placing a suitable wrench on the flats of the shaft and remove from the water pump hub. Lift the fan and clutch assembly from the vehicle.
If necessary, remove 4 fan-to-fan clutch retaining bolts and separate the fan from the fan clutch.


To install:

Assemble the fan and fan clutch. Torque the 4 retaining bolts to 15-20 ft. lbs. (20-27 Nm).
Install the fan and clutch assembly. Mount the fan clutch shaft to the water pump hub and torque to 37-46 ft. lbs. (50-62 Nm).
Slip the shroud into the lower mounting clips and install the shroud retaining screws. Reconnect the lower radiator hose.
Plug in the electric cooling fan wire connector.
Reconnect the lower shroud to the upper shroud.
Reconnect the negative battery cable.
Start the engine and check for proper operation.
