  Q: How to service and repair the fan shroud on Ford E-250 Econoline?

  A:

  The maintenance process for the fan shroud starts with draining the cooling system fluids followed by air cleaner removal. The service begins by eliminating the plastic rivet retainers followed by the Air Deflector then proceeds with removing the upper Radiator hose and the overflow hose from the radiator. A counter-clockwise rotation is needed with the right-hand threaded clutch assembly nut before removal can occur. Users should detach the fan and Fan Clutch from the water pump pulley and remove its bolts to lift the fan shroud, fan and fan clutch off the vehicle. Begin by lifting the vehicle and proceeding to remove the splash shield from beneath if installed before extracting the radiator hose at the bottom. Pull away the clamps while they are compressed and detach the transmission oil cooler hoses that run to the radiator through twisting motions. Start by lowering the vehicle and unfasten the bolts which secure the support brackets to the radiator support. Then lift the brackets towards the ceiling before moving them away from the radiator. The complete removal process ends with extraction of the radiator from the vehicle. Installation begins with reversing these steps while reinstating hose clamps at all the points where you removed shrink clamps.

  Q: How to Remove and Install a Fan Blade, Fan Clutch, and Fan Shroud on Ford E-250 Econoline?

  A:

  Service and repair operations on the fan clutch start with cooling system drainage followed by air cleaner assembly removal then plastic rivet retainer and Air Deflector removal. Detach the upper Radiator hose then disconnect the overflow hose which runs from the radiator. Rotating the clutch assembly nut clockwise is necessary for its removal because this large nut features a right-hand thread. You need to detach first the fan and fan clutch from the water pump pulley before removing its bolts followed by lifting the fan shroud and the fan clutch and the fan from the vehicle. After raising the vehicle for support you should remove any existing underbody splash shield followed by cutting off the lower radiator hose. Insert a clamp compressor and pull the clamps back from the radiator while using the right-hand screw rotation to detach transmission oil cooler hoses. Start by lowering the vehicle and unscrew the support bracket-to-radiator support bolts before lifting and pulling the brackets up from the radiator. Take the radiator out after finishing the removal process. To install the new radiator use the opposite method of removal by returning hose clamps to original locations that had used shrink clamps.
