Can't remove cooling fan


Trying to replace passenger fan motor. It's completely detached, just can't figure out how to remove. Any help would be great.

Have not tried removing it myself but you may try to remove drive side fan, than slide passenger fan to the driver side and pull it from there.

Yes you have to remove the driver side fan first, I was able to gently take both out to the driver side and up out of the engine bay.

Take out the airbox assembly and its easier. You might slide a piece of cardboard between the fan and radiator so you don't gouge up the fins. I used the side of a Monster size cereal box.

Getting all the electrical connections off that are on that passenger side fan was the hardest part. Wear gloves..
