Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • 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.
  • To help avoid personal injury or damage to the vehicle, a bent, cracked, or damaged fan blade or housing should always be replaced.
  • Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition and start switch 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. Refer to REMOVAL PROCEDURE .

    CAUTION:
    • Prior to center punching and drilling out rivets, support the fan motor and shroud by placing a block of wood or other solid object under the fan motor. Failure to support the fan motor while drilling may result in a cracked fan shroud.
    • Failure to tape off all of the entry points to the cooling fan motor(s) will allow debris to enter and damage the motor(s).
    NOTE: When reusing the fan motor(s) tape off the front and rear entry points of the fan motor(s) before drilling the rivets. Support the fan motor(s) and shroud prior to center punching the rivets.
  4. Center punch each of the rivets (1) from the rear of the motor.
