  Q: How to replace the cooling fan and fan shroud on Buick Rainier?

  A: Draining the cooling system enables the replacement process for cooling fan and shroud which starts by removing the air cleaner assembly and air resonator assembly and inlet Radiator Hose. You must first disconnect two transmission oil cooler lines which are attached to the Fan Shroud followed by taking off the Fan Clutch electrical connector. Use the Fan Clutch remover and installer (J 46406) to remove Fan Clutch parts from the Water Pump which needs to be followed by unscrewing upper Fan Shroud mounting bolts. Clear the radiator liquid entry point by pushing the Fan Shroud inward before you take out the fan unit with the shroud. The first step of installation involves fitting the fan unit with mounting bolts secured to the upper Fan Shroud until they reach 28 nm (21 ft.lbs.). You must use the Fan Clutch remover (J 46406) to position the Fan Clutch onto the Water Pump before your connection of electrical wires to the Fan Clutch takes place along with reinstalling transmission oil cooler lines for the Fan Shroud. Installation of the inlet Radiator Hose and air resonator assembly will be completed last before performing the cool system fill procedure.
