• Q: How to replace the Electric Cooling Fan Motor on 2006 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: Before starting the replacement of the electric cooling Fan Motor users must ensure their hands and tools as well as their personal clothing remain outside the area surrounding the underhood electric fan since it could begin operation even though the engine is not running. Replace any Fan Blade or housing showing damage and bent or cracks because such conditions may lead to personal injuries or vehicle damage. Electrical components replacement must start with placing the ignition key to off or lock and disconnecting all electrical loads and negative battery cable if tools will reach live terminals. Start by taking away the Fan Shroud assembly from the vehicle. Turn the Fan Motor drive plate using the ge-47827 (GE-47827) socket while keeping the Fan Blade stationary and operating it in the opposite direction to unclip it. Discard the Fan Blade while taping off all entry points to the cooling Fan Motor motor variables that cause contamination. The rivet heads from the Fan Motor require drilling out using a 6.35 mm (0.25 inch) drill bit before tapping them out of the Fan Shroud for removing the Fan Motor. Use compressed air to remove debris from the Fan Motor before eliminating the tape from the entry points. Connect the new engine cooling Fan Motor to the Fan Shroud by positioning it correctly before inserting the cooling Fan Motor bolts from the front side. Secure the cooling Fan Motor nuts with torque at 6 nm while keeping the measurement to 53 inch lbs. Position the new Fan Blade on the Fan Motor drive plate immediately after heating its hub in hot tap water that exceeds 49±c (120±F) for at least 60 seconds. Cover the Fan Blade while you align the ge-47827 socket (GE-47827) to rotate the Fan Motor drive plate in accordance with the Fan Blade arrow until proper engagement becomes visible. The cooling Fan Blade rotation should be checked for proper function before reinstalling the Fan Shroud assembly on the vehicle.
