Which Fan are you referring to? If you are refferring to the rad fan then you need to put the car on ramps and bring a socket set not sure the exact size and a flat head screwdriver. There are 2 nuts on the bottom of the rad and once undone it will just pop out. The space is very tight and you only have limited movement once the two nuts are off. This took me approx four hours to door where in a garage on a hoist would only take half the time as you will be able to see better and have better movement of your hands.

Be carfeul when undoing the nuts as mine were corroded on and when i tried to undo them i bent the metal and now they don't tighten properly so the whole unit is loose.

Once you get the bolts of and undo the wiring harness, flat screwdriver to remove harness. You can remove the whole fan assembly, then you will need to take the blade off to get to the mounting screws. The fan is actually separate from the shroud it is not all one unit. so then once you remove the fan and the 3 screws holding the fan to the shroud you can simply reverse the procedure. Make sure you tighten all the screws with good force to prevent vibration from losening them.

Done!

I had a similar problem in a Pontiac Sunfire. The guy at the dealership said it's a common problem with the switches they use for fan control in Chevy/Pontiac vehicles. It's about a $10 part.

If the AC is on constantly, the fan will be on constantly. If that's not it, it mught be the fan relay or the temperature sensor.
