Remove the air intake tube. You will need these specialized tools to unfasten the fan clutch nut
1. If necessary, remove the air cleaner outlet tube.
According to the manufacturer, the nut uses RH threads and is loosened counterclockwise.
2. Using Fan Clutch Pulley Holder T84T−6312−C and Fan Clutch Nut Wrench T84T−6312−D, or their
equivalents, loosen the large nut attaching the clutch to the water pump hub.
Using the special tools, loosen the fan clutch nut in the direction indicated on the shroud.
Some models have enough room between the shroud and the engine to remove the fan without
unbolting the shroud.
3. Remove the two upper fan shroud retaining bolts. If the overflow hose is routed through the fan
shroud, remove it from the shroud.
4. Lift up on the fan shroud to disengage the lower mounting clips.
