INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1987-2003 4 & 6 cylinder Wranglers
REMOVE OLD FAN & SHROUD
1. Remove rubber splash guard (if so equipped) at
bottom of fan shroud.
2. Remove 4 screws holding shroud to radiator, and
remaining screw holding power steering
reservoir. Tuck reservoir out of way temporarily.
Save all bolts. (Note: Shroud will not come out until
fan and fan clutch are unbolted.)
3. Remove four nuts holding fan and fan clutch
assembly to water pump hub. Remove fan clutch
assembly in one piece, along with old shroud. Do
NOT remove water pump pulley. Replace nuts
onto water pump hub and tighten.
Assemble new fan unit
1. Press plastic control knob onto the thermostat
shaft on Flex-a-lite fan shroud.
2. Screw left and right end brackets to fan as shown
with 3/8" bolts and flat washers supplied. Do not
tighten yet. See FIG. 1.
INSTALL NEW FAN UNIT
1. Lower Flex-a-lite electric fan unit into place. Fan will squeeze between radiator hose and power steering
reservoir. Be careful not to damage radiator core with mounting brackets during install.
2. Hold fan in place and, using original shroud bolts, fasten through new brackets and into original mounting
points on radiator flange. The power steering reservoir locates in its original
position.
3. Making sure that rubber seal contacts radiator all around, tighten 3/8" bolts holding
fan to brackets.

NOTE: 1997 AND UP Wranglers were produced with one or more fluid tanks mounted directly to the original
fan shroud. The shroud will be discarded in this installation. 4-cylinder models will require a Reservoir Bracket
Kit, Part# 30927, 6-cylinder models will require a Tank Bracket Kit, Part# 30928, to complete your installation.
