warning

HOT COOLANT

To avoid scalding from the expulsion of hot coolant, never remove the cooling system pressure cap while the engine is at operating temperature. Wear adequate protective clothing (face shield, rubber gloves, apron, and boots). Remove the cap slowly to relieve pressure.‪

  1. Drain the coolant from the engine. Refer to "4.1.1 Cooling System Draining and Flushing" .
  2. Remove the fan.
  3. Release the tension on the main drive belt and the fan belt and set the belts aside
  4. Remove the fan support from the cylinder block. See Figure "Fan Support and Coolant Pump Removal" . Refer to "4.7.1 Coolant Temperature Sensor Disassembly" .
