I was just curious to know how much of a PIA it is to change a radiator fan motor. With the warm temps now, my car will heat up and the fans will kick on and I hear a terrible noise coming from the fans, kind of sounds like the noise a camel would make if it was being skinned alive. Kinda of embarassing to be sitting in traffic and your car starts to howl like a banshee and that cute girl next to you chuckles and rolls up her windows!

Thanks Kidspace for the links, there is some good info there! Thanks Again!!

 

The fans are all one piece and the motors alone cannot be changed, find a working pair of fans at a auto recycler. Probably get one for $75-$150 depending on the yard. And to change it there are 2 10mm bolts that hold the top of it to the rad then the trans cooler lines clip into a holder at the bottom. If you remove the the stock air box and battery it's way easier to remove but can be removed with a little force and no broken parts without. The upper trans cooler line if it comes out of the rad easy makes the job as easy as a $5 hooker.
