Q: How to Service and Replace the Radiator Cooling Fan Motor on Buick LaCrosse?
A: The replacement of electric cooling Fan Motor ly7 starts with removing the Fan Shroud assembly from the vehicle. Warning should be taken because the electric fan operates spontaneously when the motor is off which creates potential hazards for users. Always check that the ignition key contains the off position or lock setting before you disconnect the negative Battery Cable to protect from live electrical terminals. The ge-47827 (GE-47827) socket enables you to turn the Fan Motor drive plate in an opposite direction to the Fan Blade arrow until complete disengagement. Prevent Fan Blade rotation by holding it securely in place. Regularly check that the cooling Fan Motor has no openings by securing them with tape and dispose of the Fan Blade. Utilize center punching and drilling with a 6.35 mm (0.25 inch) drill bit to remove Fan Motor rivets from their positions before tidying up by taping out the rivets from the Fan Shroud so you can eliminate the Fan Motor. Remove any loose debris afterward and eliminate all discarded tape from the entry points. Install the new engine cooling Fan Motor inside the Fan Shroud by inserting bolts from its front side until the cooling Fan Motor nuts reach 6 nm (53 inch lbs. Of torque). Before putting the new Fan Blade hub into place, heat it in hot tap water reaching at least 49°c (120°F) hot for sixty seconds to stop cracking from forming. Act swiftly to place the heated Fan Blade onto the Fan Motor drive plate through alignment of the ge-47827 (GE-47827) socket for turning the Fan Motor drive plate with arrow orientation on the Fan Blade. The vehicle requires reinstalling of the Fan Shroud assembly after properly rotating the cooling Fan Blade into position.
