Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1AAuto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly. That's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we'll be showing you how to replace the fan or the fan clutch on this 2002 GMC Yukon. This is very similar for most GMC SUVs and trucks from 99 to 06 and 07. Tools you'll need are pretty basic, eight, 10 and 13-millimeter sockets and ratchet, a flat-blade screwdriver, a large adjustable wrench and a hammer.
We're going to begin by using an eight-millimeter socket ratchet or wrench to disconnect our negative battery cable and then we're going to loosen two clamps: this one here at the front of your throttle body and this one right down here near your air box. Now with those loosened up, these rubber hoses may stick on so you may want to take a screwdriver and kind of gently just work it under in a few different places. Get the hoses unstuck. Then you pull the hoses off; pull it off the front of the throttle body here. See this one is a little more difficult. Right under here there's a clamp, so pull this up. You just want to work this out of this pin here. It usually comes off pretty easy. Bring this whole assembly right up and out.
Next, we're going to remove two 10-millimeter bolts, one here and one right over here and then pull this little hose out of here. We're basically going to take off the upper fan shroud. You'll want to pull this hose up and out, work it carefully back and forth and pull up and you should be able to pull that out. Then down here there are little pins. You actually pry the center of them up first. Once you pry the center up they'll come right out. There are four of those, there, there and then the same kind of area on the other side right there, then one right there.
Next step is to remove the fan here, large adjustable wrench; put it onto that nut. The best way is to use a little old-fashioned impact. Obviously you still have the belts on the motor once you've broken it loose. To replace your fan clutch, a 13-millimeter socket and you basically just remove these four bolts. The fan separates from the fan clutch. Put your new fan clutch in. Tighten up these four bolts again. These bolts should tighten up to about 20 to 25 foot-pounds.
Put the fan on using our big adjustable wrench. Tighten as much as you can. Use the power of impact to tighten it up further. Now we're going to put the upper shroud back on. Your four pins pop in, push them down to lock. This one pops in; push it down and then the two on this side and then your two bolts, 10 millimeter. We'll tighten up those 10-millimeter bolts and now fasten your upper radiator hose on there correctly and put your air intake back in. Make sure you get those hoses connected properly and securely and then nice and tight. Make sure it's pushed onto the throttle body correctly and that clamp is all tight. Then you can reconnect your battery and you're all set.

In this video, we're going to be working with our 1996 GMC Sierra K1500, 5.7 liter, V8. We're going to show you how to remove and replace your fan clutch, or the actual metal fan on that clutch. The process is going to be the same, regardless of which piece you're changing. If you like this video, please click subscribe, we have a ton more information on this, and many other vehicles, and if you need these parts for your truck, you can follow the link, down in the description, over to 1AAuto.com. Here are the items you'll need for this repair.
Using a small flat blade screwdriver, pop open the wire retainer on the top of your fan shroud, lift the wire off, and it's long enough that you can just lay it back in the engine bay. You can remove it from the battery, and take it out completely, if you'd like to, but this should give you plenty of room to work.
Remove the seven 10 millimeter bolts along the fan shroud. There should be two on the bottom on each side. Ours is missing two bolts, and then three along the top, and the same two bolt locations on this side. We'll remove these with a 10 millimeter socket ratchet and extension. Once the hardware is removed, lift up, and remove the upper fan shroud from the vehicle.
We're going to use an adjustable wrench, because we don't have the right size open-end wrench, but that would work as well. As well as, some pipe wrenches. We're going to place that over the clutch fan nut, and then strike it quickly with a hammer.
Using the drive of a three-eighths ratchet – you could also use a three-eighths breaker bar –, go into the slot on the serpentine belt tensioner, and rotate it as far as we can clockwise, to put some extra tension on the serpentine belt. Then, try hitting the wrench again because this should keep the pulley from turning. Once it's loose, you can remove your ratchet, spin the clutch fan off.
Whether you're changing the fan clutch, or the fan itself, the process to remove and separate these two pieces and reinstall, will be exactly the same. You'll need 13 millimeter socket ratchet, and extension to break the four bolts loose. Once the bolts are out, flip it over, and knock the fan off of the clutch.
Now there's nothing wrong with either of these components, but regardless, you would either install your new clutch onto your old fan, or your new fan onto your old clutch, the same way. Simply, line up the four holes. Reinstall the four,13 millimeter bolts, and tighten them back down with your socket and ratchet.
Reinstall the clutch fan and just snug it up, by tapping it on with a wrench.
Reinstall your upper radiator fan shroud. Reinstall the seven 10 millimeter bolts securing your fan shroud. Tighten them down with the 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Reinstall the wire along the top of your shroud. Lock it back into place.
