Radiator Cooling Fan: Service and Repair

Fan Replacement

Removal Procedure

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.

Notice: 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.
