• Q: How to replace the fan shroud on 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: Safety precautions begin with disconnecting the negative cable from the battery before proceeding with the Fan Shroud replacement. The j 38185 hose clamp pliers should be used to take off the air cleaner assembly and both engine mount struts on the right and left side. Stop by detaching the transmission oil cooler lines from their retention clip on the cooling Fan Shroud base after which you should take out the cooling Fan Shroud screws together with the screw that fastens the shroud to the condenser bracket. The next action involves removing the radiator upper support brackets together with Fan Shroud bolts along with disconnecting the engine cooling Fan Motor electrical connector. Start the cooling Fan Shroud removal by disconnecting its electrical harness from the Fan Shroud clips. Then detach the cooling Fan Shroud. To separate the engine cooling Fan Blade the technician must disassemble both the engine cooling fan heat shield and engine cooling Fan Blade nut. A thorough inspection of cooling fan blades should be done to replace any damaged blades because either bent or cracked blades threaten safety. Set aside the engine cooling Fan Motor bolts before removing the engine cooling Fan Motor from the Fan Shroud. The engine cooling Fan Motor installation requires remounting it on the Fan Shroud before fastening it with engine cooling Fan Motor bolts which should reach 6 nm torque (53 inch lbs.). Secure the engine cooling Fan Blade nut to 6 nm (53 inch lbs.). Fix the cooling fan heat shield by aligning the lower Fan Shroud edge to the radiator bottom clip before installing the cooling Fan Shroud with its bolts at 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). You should reconnect both the electrical connector of the engine cooling Fan Motor and the electrical harness for the cooling fan Fan Shroud and clips. The first step involves installing and tightening the Fan Shroud bolt securing it to the condenser hold down bracket to 6 nm (53 inch lbs.) thus completing the installation by securing the radiator upper support brackets and bolts to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). The technician must reinstall all transmission oil cooler lines to their correct places including the bottom retainer clip of the cooling Fan Shroud as well as the air cleaner assembly and right and left engine mount struts. The negative Battery Cable connection must also be made before the system is ready for inspection for proper operation.
