Step 1
Unplug all the connectors that link the fan onto the wiring harness. These connectors can be found close to the middle of the fans. Take off the 4 bolts attaching the fans to the radiator.
These bolts can be seen over the fan. In other models, the fan bolts are at the bottom and top. Wherever the case may be, the bolts will be easy to see since the fans are not concealed.
Step 2
Take off any obstruction that may be in the way. These may consist of radiator hoses or wiring. Remove the fan from the car. Get the new fans and slide them into place. Get the bolts and secure them. Reconnect the electrical connectors. Turn on the engine and it should start.
Note that some vehicles can be very particular about the engine cooling fan diameter. You can avoid difficulties by reading the manual first. The people at an auto parts shop may also provide you with the correct info regarding this matter.
