Removing
Attention! On models with gasoline engines, a special tool must be used to attach the radiator fan pulley to the bracket. At home, the tool can be made of steel wire with a diameter of 4 mm. The use of self-made tools on diesel models is not recommended in order not to damage the radiator fan pulley and related components.

After unscrewing the mounting bolts, remove the gasket from the radiator fan pulley.
Removing the radiator fan pulley
1. Remove the ground wire from the battery and auxiliary drive belt.
2. Unscrew the screws and remove the plastic shrouds located above and below the heatsink. If equipped, remove the coolant hose from the bracket on the upper casing.
3. On models with a one-piece radiator fan shroud, remove the metal spring clips and detach the shroud from the radiator. Remove the fan shroud and position it between the motor and fan impeller.
4. If equipped, remove the retainer, rotate the guide shroud to the left, and remove it from the radiator fan shroud. Position the guide shroud between the motor and the radiator fan impeller.
5. Remove the metal clips, disconnect the radiator fan shroud from the radiator, and remove it from the engine compartment along with the guide shroud.
6. On petrol models, rotate the radiator fan pulley until the locking hole on the pulley aligns with the notch in the bracket. To fix the pulley from turning, insert a special tool or a steel rod with a diameter of 4 mm through the hole in the pulley (see fig. Using a special tool to prevent the radiator fan pulley from turning).
7. On diesel models, only a special tool must be used to secure the radiator fan pulley from turning, which grasps the edge of the radiator fan pulley and the auxiliary belt.
8. Unscrew the screws and remove the radiator fan impeller from the clutch. On models with a one-piece fan shroud, remove the shroud from the engine compartment (see fig. Unscrewing the radiator fan impeller bolts, Removing the radiator fan impeller from the clutch).
9. Unscrew the central bolt and remove the clutch from the radiator fan pulley. If necessary, unscrew the bolts and remove the pulley from the shaft (see fig. Loosen the central bolt securing the radiator fan clutch, Remove the radiator fan clutch, Remove the gasket from the radiator fan pulley, Remove the radiator fan pulley).
Installation
