Except for Diamante models
Removal
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
If your car stereo system is equipped with a security code, make sure you have the correct combination to activate the audio system before disconnecting the battery!
2. Drain the cooling system.
To avoid burns, proceed with the above work only after the system has completely cooled down! Do not allow antifreeze to come into contact with exposed areas of the body or painted surfaces of the car. Wash off any accidental splashes immediately with plenty of water. Remember that antifreeze is a highly toxic liquid and its ingestion, even in small quantities, can have the most serious consequences (even fatal). Never leave antifreeze stored in a loosely closed container and immediately collect any coolant spilled on the floor. Remember that the sweet smell of antifreeze can attract the attention of children and animals. Consult any car service station for information on how to dispose of used coolant. In many regions of the world, special collection points for various types of waste have been set up. Never pour old coolant down the drain or onto the ground!
3. Disconnect the overflow pipe and upper radiator hose.
4. On models with AT, disconnect the ATF cooling lines (immediately plug the open ends of the hoses and fittings).
5. Disconnect the electrical wiring from the engine cooling fan.
6. Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the fan assembly with the protective casing from the vehicle.

7. Loosen the impeller mounting nut and remove the latter from the drive motor shaft.
8. Remove the mounting screws and remove the electric motor from the assembly casing.
Installation
1. Install the electric motor on the assembly housing, screw in and tighten the mounting bolts.
2. Next, proceed in the reverse order of dismantling the components.
3. Finally, fill the cooling system with the required amount of fresh mixture (see Chapter Settings and ongoing maintenance), connect the negative cable to the battery and check the proper functioning of the fan(s).

4. Disconnect the wiring from the fan and radiator sensor.
Typically, the electrical connectors of these components are sealed - try not to damage the assembly design parts.
5. Disconnect the upper hose from the radiator and remove the expansion tank.
6. Remove the mounting screws and remove the fan assembly.
These models allow the cooling and air conditioning fans to be removed separately.
7. If necessary, remove the impeller and drive motor.
