3. Attach the liquid gasket tube to the Tool.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location
with the specified dimensions.

If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.

As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified in the procedure, it should also be
applied outside the holes.

Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.

If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten after the installation.

Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling the
engine with engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.Tool number : WS39930000 ( — )

REMOVAL
1. Remove the air duct and resonator assembly. Refer to EM-14, "Removal and Installation" .
2. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.
3. Remove the lower radiator shroud. Refer to CO-12, "
Removal and Installation" .
4. Remove the drive belt. Refer to EM-12, "
Removal and Installation" .
5. Remove the cooling fan.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Fan Coupling
Inspect fan coupling for oil leakage and bimetal conditions.
Fan Bracket

Visually check that there is no significant looseness in the fan
bracket shaft, and that it turns smoothly by hand.

If there are any unusual concerns, replace the cooling fan pulley.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Install cooling fan with its front mark “F” facing front of engine. Refer to CO-15, "Removal and Installation
(Crankshaft Driven Type)" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of the engine coolant. Refer to CO-10, "CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS" .
