Removal Procedure
- If a fan assembly fails, inspect the hub and the drive components. A fan assembly may fail due to an imbalance in the hub. This type of failure may not be the fault of the blades.
- Remove the fan clutch assembly. Refer to Fan Clutch Replacement .
- Remove the fan to fan clutch retaining bolts.
- Remove the fan from the fan clutch.
CAUTION:
If a fan blade is bent or damaged, do not repair and use the damaged part. Replace a bent or damaged fan assembly with a new fan assembly. Using a fan with a different diameter, pitch, number of blades or type of blade material may effect the cooling efficiency, performance and engine noise level.
