  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the fan clutch assembly. Refer to Fan Clutch Replacement .
