Disconnect battery and remove intake tube as follows: Remove tube Loosen clamp at throttle body (5/16") Remove MAF Sensor Remove wiring connector Remove assembly as one unit Remove Serpentine Belt using wrench to relieve tension on tensioner pulley (15mm). Belt must go behind fan blades for removal. REMOVING FAN Loosen all 4 water pump pulley bolts. The bolts are 10mm. We are using a 7/8" socket on the fan shaft to keep the pulley from spinning. Loosen all 4, then remove them. Slide the pulley forward and install the 4 bolts back in place. A fan removal tool is used to loosen the fan. This is a spanner type wrench. It uses the 4 bolts to get its grip. The tool is available for sale or rent (sometimes free) from a parts store. The fan removal is placed around the bolts. A 7/8" wrench is placed on the fan wrench. Hit the wrench with a hammer and the shaft will come loose. In a 3.0 motor, it is righty loosey at the shaft. The shaft is moved clockwise to loosen it. The fan cannot be removed with the fan shroud in place. Gently lay the fan into the opening. Use a 10mm to remove the two fan shroud bolts. Remove the fan and shroud together.
