Removal Procedure
Caution: An electric fan under the hood can start up even when the engine is not running and can injure you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away
from any underhood electric fan.
Caution: To help avoid personal injury or damage to the vehicle, a bent, cracked, or damaged fan blade or housing should always be replaced.
Caution: Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF,
unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also
disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
1. Remove the fan shroud assembly from the vehicle.
2. Important: Hold the fan blade to prevent rotation.
Using GE-47827 turn the fan motor drive plate in the opposite direction of the arrow on the fan blade until the motor drive plate disengages from
the fan blade.
3. Remove and discard the fan blade.
4. Notice: Failure to tape off all of the entry points to the cooling fan motor will allow debris to enter and damage the motor.
