• Q: How to replace the Electric Cooling Fan Motor on 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: The first step to replace the electric cooling Fan Motor requires disconnecting the negative Battery Cable for safety purposes. The j 38185 hose clamp pliers help technicians to detach the right and left engine mount struts and also the air cleaner assembly. The first step is to remove the transmission oil cooler lines from their bottom retainer clip at the cooling Fan Shroud and then take out the Fan Shroud bolts. You must first remove the bolt between the Fan Shroud and condenser hold down bracket before taking off the radiator upper brackets with their connecting bolts. Before removing the cooling Fan Shroud together with the heat shield users must disconnect and detach the engine fan electrical connector with its corresponding wiring. After removing the engine cooling Fan Blade nut you must uninstall the blade and check that damaged or bent fan blades receive replacement pieces to restore balance in the system. The inspection of cooling fan blades should be completed at this point before the removal of engine cooling Fan Motor bolts to extract the engine cooling Fan Motor from the Fan Shroud. Position the engine cooling Fan Motor inside the Fan Shroud and fasten it with the engine cooling Fan Motor bolts while torquing them to 6 nm (53 inch lbs.). Put the engine cooling Fan Blade along with its nut into place before securing them to 6 nm (53 inch lbs.). Then install the engine cooling fan heat shield. Set the lower border of the Fan Shroud to connect with the clip below the radiator before adding the cooling Fan Shroud and its bolts which must be tightened to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). The cooling fan electrical harness requires reattachment to the Fan Shroud clips while connecting the electrical connector to the engine cooling Fan Motor. Position and tighten to 6 nm (53 inch lbs.) the bolt that links the Fan Shroud to the condenser hold down bracket before proceeding with radiator upper support bracket tightening to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). After finishing reinstall the transmission oil cooler lines at the bottom of the cooling Fan Shroud attachment point and the air cleaner assembly and right and left engine mount struts before reconnecting the negative Battery Cable while ensuring proper system operation through inspection.
