How to Replace Radiator Fan Clutch 2000-04 GMC Yukon

Remove this cover, I'm gonna use an 8-millimeter socket. Loosen that bolt up, and slide the cover out. And loosen up this worm clamp. You can use a 8-millimeter socket or a straight blade screwdriver. And the same with this one right here. Use a trim tool, and just separate this retainer right there, or that bracket. Now slide the snorkel off there, and pull it out. Just to gain more access, I'm gonna pull this airbox off. Disconnect the mass air flow sensor. Grab the airbox. Pull it straight up. Then, you can slide it out. There's two tabs. And this holds it in.

I'm gonna take these two bolts out up top. Use a 10-millimeter socket. And there's four push pins, two on this side and two on the other side. I'm gonna use a push pin removal tool or a trim tool. Just remove these. Now take this hose retainer off right here. Just use a trim tool. Slide that up. Slide this hose out right here. This should be, hmmmm. Just move this hose out of your way. Just slide this cover right out.

I'm gonna use a fan clutch tool with the 36-millimeter adapter and just go right here, this setup. Once you get it loose, should be able to spin it off just like that. And pull it out. Take these four bolts out. I'm gonna use a 13-millimeter socket. And just hold the fan up. Just give it a little tap with a hammer. Take the new fan clutch, and put the fan right in position. That looks good. Take the bolts. Get the bolts started. Now, we're gonna torque these bolts to 17-foot-pounds.

Just take the fan, and just line it up. Now if you have a torque wrench and you're able to hold the water pump pulley from spinning, you can torque that to 41-foot-pounds. We don't have that. I'm just gonna use an adjustable wrench and just a hammer. Give it a couple good taps. And that's good. All right. Now take this fan shroud. Hold the hose out of the way. Line it up with some alignment pins right there on both sides. Put these push pins in. Lock 'em down. Do the same on the other side. Put these bolts in. Get those lined up. And tighten these down. And line this retainer up and right there. Put that hose in that position. And slide the airbox back in position. What you want to do is slide this piece. It's gonna go right here. It's gonna slide there. And then push the two push pins straight down. Push down. It's good to go. Reconnect the mass air flow sensor. And put the snorkel back on. Line this up with the throttle body and the airbox. And tighten up the worm clamps. And line this bracket back up. Put the cover on. Slide it in the back. Get the bolt started. Snug it down.
