Steps
- Remove the old fan
Soak the fan clutch mount in penetrating oil, loosen the clutch with a 36mm fan clutch wrench (an air chisel or a long breaker bar and wrench combo both work), remove the fan assembly, then take out its four 13mm bolts to separate the fan blade from the clutch.
- Install the new fan
Mount the fan onto the clutch and tighten its four 13mm bolts in a crossing pattern, thread the assembly back onto the water pump pulley, tighten it with the fan clutch wrench, then start the engine to confirm it spins freely and engages properly.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
